City DescriptionCastle Rock, also known as Turokville or "The Canyon", is a city in Cowlitz County, Washington, United States. It is part of the 'Longview, Washington Metropolitan Statistical Area'. The population was 2,135 at the 2000 census.
Castle Rock was founded in 1883 and took its name from the rocky upthrust south of town long known as Castle Rock. Several times river floods menaced the town until it built a successful dike system. Castle Rock was officially incorporated on June 20, 1890. In 1940, dairy farming, truck farming, and lumber manufacturing supported most of the population. Sword ferns, common in the region, were picked each year by several hundred people to be processed into medicine. In the spring, large quantities of cascara bark were gathered, dried, and shipped. The 1940 population was 2, 135. (Washington - A Guide to the Evergreen State, WPA American Guide Series, Washington State Historical Society, 1941).
Castle Rock is located at 46°16′26″N, 122°54′18″W (46.273991, -122.904916).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2,135 square miles (3.4 km²), all of it land.
