We'll pull over here, for a moment, so that we can give you the narrative the town of Corbett. Then, of our historic highway, and, about our 1st stop, Chanticleer Point...
For many years, where we are now, there was a station here, named Corbett, on the Union Pacific Railroad, at the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge. The station, built in eighteen eighty two, is gone.
But there is a small commercial cluster left over here, in front of us, where Corbett Hill Road leaves I-84, and climbs the hill to connect to the town, and the historic highway.
When many towns got washed out during the famous eighteen ninety four flood, many moved to Corbett, up on the bluff, near our next stop, where the community resided.
