Klickitat

A railroad station on the Klickitat River north of Dallesport in west central Klickitat County. It was established by L. C. Wright in 1890 and called Wright’s. In 1910, the post office changed to the present name, and, in 1913, so was the railroad station. By the 1940s it was the site of the Gas Ice Corporation’s plant which manufactured “dry ice” from natural carbon dioxide wells at Klickitat Mineral Springs. Much of the plant has since been demolished and only a few structures and a smokestack remain.
