    Longview is the location of Mount Coffin, a native ancestral burial ground for the local indigenous people. The City is located fork of the Cowlitz and Columbia Rivers, was first settled in the early 1850s and remained sparsely populated for nearly 60 years, consisting mostly of farmland and wilderness. In 1918, Robert A. Long decided to move the Long-Bell Lumber Company, to Longview, do to dwindling supplies in Missouri. Then in 1921, Wesley Vandercook decicide to build a mill near the small town of Kelso, Washington.

    Kelso, with a population of barely 2,000 would not be able to support the 14,000 men, so Long-Bell Company hired George Kessler, to build the city that would support the two mills that were now planned. Longview was officially incorporated on February 14, 1924 was the only planned city of its magnitude to have ever been conceived of and built entirely with private funds.

    A number of prominent buildings in Longview were purchased with Mr. Long's personal funds, including R. A. Long High School, the Longview Public Library, the YMCA building and the Monticello Hotel.
