Foss is an unincorporated community in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is about Шаблон:Convert east of Mohler and Oregon Route 53, near the Nehalem River.[2] Foss is the site of an important river flood gauge.[3]

Foss was named for Herbert Foss, who owned timber in the area.[4] Foss post office ran from 1928 to 1943, and Foss station on the Southern Pacific Railroad (now the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad) was established shortly after the post office.[4] Camp Nehalem (also known as Camp Foss), a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp northeast of Foss, had a Foss mailing address.[5]

Geography

Foss is only 474 acres in area. It lies in the Northwestern region of Oregon at a low elevation near the ocean surrounded by the highest mountains of the Oregon Coastal Range.

Climate

Foss has a borderline cool-summer Mediterranean and oceanic climate with cool, extremely rainy winters, with only 2 inches of snowfall annually, while the summers are mild with light precipitation. Because it lies at a low elevation surrounded by higher mountains near the ocean, heavy amounts of moisture get trapped in the region resulting in plentiful and heavy rainfall. Шаблон:Weather box
