Manzanita /ˌmænzəˈniːtə/ is a coastal city in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States. It is located on U.S. Route 101 about 25 miles (40 km) equidistant from Seaside to the north and Tillamook to the south. The population was 603 at the 2020 census.
History
The indigenous Tillamook people lived along the Oregon coast, including the Manzanita area (tidewaters of the Nehalem Bay), for about 12,000 years. They suffered from smallpox and other illnesses brought by white settlers, and the few remaining Tillamook people were relocated to the Siletz and Grand Ronde reservations in the 1850s.[5]
At least two of Oregon's historical shipwrecks occurred off the Manzanita coast: the Glenesslin in 1913[6], and the Santo Cristo de Burgos (disappeared 1693) which has generated rumors of treasure buried on Neahkahnie Mountain.[7]
