The community was established in 1881 and platted in 1890.[2] The Northern Pacific Railway built a junction in Gate, and the town developed a lumber industry. The community was named Gate due to the railroad junction, which made it the "gateway to the coast".[3][4] Much of the town was devastated by fires in the early 1900s, and the decline of the area's lumber mills further hurt Gate's economy.[3] One of the railroad lines through Gate is now a county-maintained rail trail.[5]
The Gate School, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located in Gate.[3]
