Settled primarily by Finnish[4] and Scandinavian immigrants, the community has maintained this cultural heritage despite a declining percentage of traditional family names. Since 1982, Naselle has hosted a "Finnish-American Folk Festival"[4] every other year, and in 2006 co-hosted, with the nearby city of Astoria, Oregon, the national festival FinnFest USA.
