Wyeth ...
Wyeth, Oregon, is located at Columbia River Mile (RM) 156, upstream of Cascade Locks and downstream of Shellrock Mountain. Wyeth was a railway station and was named after Oregon pioneer Nathaniel J. Wyeth, builder of Fort Hall (today's Pocatello, Idaho) and the Fort William trading post on Sauvie Island. A Post Office existed between 1901 and 1936. Today the location is the Wyeth State Recreation Area.
