Hobsonville

Hobsonville is a ghost town sitting on the east shore of Tillamook Bay in Tillamook County, Oregon. Though it retains a ghost town reputation, the U.S. Geological Survey still classifies it as a populated place, suggesting some presence remains rather than a fully abandoned site.

The location itself offers an interesting geographic context: Hobsonville sits roughly two miles south of the town of Garibaldi along U.S. Route 101, or about a mile from Garibaldi measured across Miami Cove. Visitors passing through will find a quiet bayside setting more than any dramatic ruins or developed historic attractions.

For those curious about Oregon's smaller forgotten communities, Hobsonville is an easy detour along 101, best appreciated as a scenic coastal bay stop rather than a destination with extensive on-the-ground history to explore.
