History

It should be noted that a look at a current map of Cape Meares shows that the town used to extend farther west, since the streets currently closest to the ocean are Third and Second; most of second Street was lost to the ocean decades ago, so only a portion remains. Local lore I'm aware of says there was First Street and then Beach Street, which suggests that roughly half the area of the original town has vanished. This was part of the disaster that wiped out the Bayocean resort town; the sand loss on that beach wasn't just north where the resort town was, it extended all the way from the Tillamook Bay on the north end of the peninsula south right up to the base of the cape itself.

This should really be included in the article. At this time I am not aware of any sources that even mention any history of the little town of Cape Meares, so I'm hoping that someone who reads this might and will be able to make a start on a history section. Meanwhile, if I get a chance I will contact the Cape Meares Community Association in hopes that someone there can point me in a helpful direction.
