Myrtle Point

Myrtle Point lies along the South Fork Coquille River, where the wooded foothills of the Oregon Coast Range meet the grazing land and small farms of Coos County. Set inland from Oregon’s Pacific shore, the town has a rural character shaped by the river valley and surrounding timber country. Its name recalls Oregon myrtle, a broad-leaved evergreen native to this part of the Pacific Northwest and valued for its finely grained wood. The Coos County Fairgrounds in Myrtle Point maintain the town’s connection to farming and community gatherings, including the annual county fair.
