Mist is an unincorporated community in Columbia County, Oregon, United States. Formerly called Riverside, the place was renamed in 1888 for the atmospheric conditions of the Nehalem Valley.[1] The first land claims in the area had been made circa 1870.[2] The original Riverside post office was closed in 1975.[1]
