The Garden of Surging Waves will be the legacy of Astoria's Bicentennial, marking 200 years since the city's founding in 1811. It will serve as a permanent reminder of – and tribute to – Astoria history. Much in the way the Astoria Column commemorates the city's first hundred years, the Garden of Surging Waves continues the tradition by sharing another of Astoria's heritage stories.
