The Ward-Sargent Timber Company was headquartered at Aberdeen and had a logging camp at Ocosta. The company appears to have started business ca. 1927 and was out of business by 1930. Ocosta was a boom town established in 1892, and nearly deserted by 1930, on the south shore of Grays Harbor, across South Bay from Westport in southwest Grays Harbor County. It was named by Judge William H. Calkins of Tacoma and Mrs. George E. Filley of Olympia. They used the Spanish La Costa, but substituted O for La, to make a one-word name acceptable to postal authorities. A poetic variation, used in advertising the embryo town, was Ocosta By The Sea. The Indian name was Nu-shis-tska. The name is now used by the community and the local school district which now includes the community of Westport.
