False Tillamook

False Tillamook is an archaic placename for a headland in Tillamook County in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] False Tillamook is now known as Cape Falcon, Oregon. False Tillamook is the next coastal promontory south from Arch Cape. Robert Greenhow, in his History of Oregon and California, confused False Tillamook Head with Clarks Point of View.
