THE HISTORY OF ST. HELENS
Not long ago, a friend needled me about the lack of information on our page about St. Helens, the county seat of Columbia county. I replied that the beginnings of the town were controversial and I was still looking for the truth in the matter. To which he replied: "Since when was history about the truth?"
Since his point is well taken we have decided to enumerate some of the stories about the beginning of St. Helens and let someone else determine the truth of the matter.
