Henry Wilson, for whom the Wilson River is named, brought the first cows to Tillamook County and laid the foundation for its dairy industry. As early as 1854, butter and cheese were being made in large enough quantities to be sold on commission in Astoria and Portland. The Morning Star of Tillamook gave residents a way to import goods and transport their dairy products to markets in Astoria and Portland, and after its completion on December 29, 1854, it became the first ship built in Tillamook County and the first registered ship in the Oregon Territory. In 1863, Tillamook County had only three small one-man sawmills, and lumber was used locally while forest land was regarded as a nuisance because it was hard to clear for farms. The lumber industry did not begin to expand until 1886, when shipments started going outside Tillamook, and by 1892 lumber milled there was being shipped to Portland and San Francisco. The industry suffered heavily from the Tillamook Burn, which consisted of three major forest fires in 1933, 1939, and 1945 that together burned 354,936 acres of forest and destroyed 13,102,917,000 board feet of lumber. In 1949, a major reforestation effort began with 72 million seedlings planted by inmate crews from the South Fork Prison Camp of the Oregon State Penitentiary and by children's school groups. The bays, rivers, and streams of Tillamook County also supplied abundant fish, and large runs of salmon and lamprey eel provided the Tillamook tribes with fresh fish throughout the year. Salmon, eel, and hooligan smelt were wind dried on the beaches for storage or trade, and later settlers continued to rely on fish for food and income, taking catches to the Willamette Valley to sell. By the early 1880s, fish canneries had been established throughout Tillamook County, and they prospered until fish populations began to dwindle around 1915.
