Hamlet is an unincorporated community in Clatsop County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is located about six miles southeast of Necanicum, in the Northern Oregon Coast Range near the confluence of the North Fork Nehalem River and the Little North Fork Nehalem River.[2] It is surrounded by units of the Clatsop State Forest.[2]
The town was founded by Finns and according to author Ralph Friedman, the place never had a store, church, post office, or village center.[3] Oregon Geographic Names however, says that Hamlet post office was established about 1905, and was named because it was a small community, or hamlet.[4] The post office closed in 1953, with mail going to Seaside.[4] Hamlet did have a school, which as of 1990, had become a community center.[3][5] There is also a cemetery.[3][5] A later Friedman book gives the history of the post office and the Finnish founders of the town.[6]
