Return to Index History & History Related Items Yachats history: For thousands of years, Yachats has been host to tribal settlements, both along the river, along the bay, and along the ocean front. One of the most popular sites for home building and community living is the area on the north end of town at the smelt beaches. At this location, earlier settlers seem to have built shelters against the winds and waters, and lived largely off the smelt and various shellfish in the productive rock crevasses and tide pools. Even the United States Military has entered into the picture. The street known as Aqua Vista circles an area that, at the outbreak of WWII, was an army base. Under the surface of some of these homes is a veritable labyrinth of pipes and contrete remaining from the base. This post office was established 1887 about a mile north of its present location with the name Ocean Veiw, with George M. Starr as postmaster. In 1916, the name was changed to Yachats, after a tribe of Indians, which are now nearly extict. The name is pronounced Ya-hots. There is much confusion of the origin of the name Yachats, which can be attributed to the European and Euro-Americans who were keepers of the written language. When Yachats was a part of the Siletz Indian Reservation, agents and superintendents changed the spelling and pronunciation. Variations include Yawhuch Prairie, Yawhick Prairie, and the Yachants. Yachats is derived from the Chinook Indian word, Yahuts,meaning dark waters at the foot of the mountain. Here is a history page for Yachats.
