| Rainier was founded by Charles Fox in 1851 and was called Eminence. The name was changed to Fox's Landing, and then to Rainier after Mount Rainier which is visible from the northeast. In 1854 lumber was produced by a large steam sawmill built by F.M. Warren. They produced the lumber for home and buildings of other settlers. Rainier was incorporated in 1885. In the last quarter of the twentieth century most of Oregon knew Rainier as the home of the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant which was the only commercial nuclear reactor in the state. The cooling tower was demolished on May 21, 2006 and with the closing of the plant there came a decline in the number of businesses still in town. |
