Coos Bay is both a resort town and body of water located on the Pacific Coast of Oregon, where the Coos River reaches the ocean. It is an important port for Oregon, with timber from the surrounding forests being a major product. In the forested area surrounding Coos Bay is found the tallest living Douglas-fir tree.
Sir Francis Drake is said to have sought shelter in the bay for his ship, the Golden Hind and her crew in 1579. There has been a settlement on Coos Bay since 1853, when the town of Marshfield was founded there. By 1866 the inhabitants, who were reliant on the sea for their income, had built the Cape Arago Light. The setting up of a post office in 1871 and the arrival of the Coos Bay Wagon Road in the town a year later connected Coos County with the Umpqua River valley in neighbouring Douglas County, on the other side of the Coast Range of mountains.
