in 1803, with the successful purchase of the louisiana territory from france, president thomas jefferson ordered an expedition to the west coast, which was led by captain meriwether lewis and william clark. the lewis and clark expedition reached the oregon coast in early winter of 1805, where they built fort clatsop near present-day astoria. during their stay at fort clatsop, the corps of discovery made many observations about the landscape and local life, as well as establishing relations with the local clatsop indians. the expedition began their return trip to washington d.c. in march 1806. the lewis and clark expedition would have long-lasting effects for the pacific northwest and began the settlement of the u.s. west coast, even though heavy settlement of the oregon coast would not come until half a century later.
