Starting as the Port of Bayocean in 1911, the Port of Tillamook Bay evolved into its current status in 1953. Built during World War II, the Naval Air Station Tillamook (NAST) housed Navy blimps that patrolled the Pacific Ocean. The Port evolved into its current status after the Navy decommissioned NAST after WWII, and transferred the property from Tillamook County to the Port. It’s home to Hangar B, the world’s largest free span wooden building that is also on the National Registry of Historic Places.
