Located near the mouth of the Columbia River; Warrenton; incorporated in February 1899; is a city comprised of many earlier towns and villages. Hammond; although still having a separate post office and zip code; was merged with Warrenton in 1991. Fort Stevens; now an Oregon State Park; is located near Hammond. Lexington was the first county seat for Clatsop County until the county seat was vacated on December 4; 1879; and moved to Astoria. Skipanon; located near the same site as Lexington; was also annexed by Warrenton. Flavel; along the Columbia River between Warrenton and Hammond; was an active port for the Great Northern Steamship Company. It was annexed by Warrenton in 1918. Warrenton-Hammond documents each of these towns as they grew and became the present city of Warrenton.
