The Back Story:
Coquille River, Oregon
Bandon, Oregon sits at the junction of the Coquille River and the mighty Pacific. It was founded by white settlers in 1873 and soon became a substantial shipping port for the lumber of Oregon’s lush forests. Named after the native people who first populated the area, the Coquille River provided an ideal passageway for transporting virgin timber from inland forests.
Coquille River Lighthouse, built in 1895 and first lit the following year, the lighthouse was constructed from local stone and brick and covered in stucco. A 40-ft tower furnished with a fourth order Fresnel lens sat adjacent to an octagonal room holding a Daboll trumpet fog signal.
