Seaside is a city in Clatsop County, Oregon, United States. The name Seaside came from a summer resort built by the railroad magnate Ben Holladay in the 1870s, Seaside House, located a mile south of the business center.
Seaside lies on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, at the southern end of the Clatsop Plains, about 29 km south of where the Columbia River empties into the Pacific. The Necanicum River bisects the town and flows out to the ocean at the northern edge of town. Tillamook Head towers over the south edge of town.
About January 1, 1806 a group of men from the Lewis and Clark Expedition built a salt-making cairn at the present site of Seaside. The Native American name for the Clatsop village near the cairn was Ne-co-tat. The town was incorporated in 1899.
In 1912, Alexandre Gilbert (1843-1932) was elected Mayor of Seaside. Gilbert was a French immigrant, a veteran of the Franco Prussian War. After living in San Francisco, California and Astoria, Oregon, Gilbert moved to Seaside where he had a beach cottage (built in 1885). Gilbert was a real estate developer who donated land to the City of Seaside for its one and a half mile long Promanade, or "Prom," along the Pacific beach.
In 1892 he added to his beach cottage. The Gilbert House, since the mid 1980's operated commercially as the Gilbert Inn, still stands at Beach Drive and A Avenue. Gilbert's "Gilbert Block" office building on Broadway also survives.
Seaside is a common tourist destination for residents of the Portland area. The city's population grows in the summer, particularly during some of the large events and festivals that Seaside hosts.

The state lies on the Pacific coast between Washington on the north and California and Nevada on the south; Idaho lies to the east.
