Homesteaders
For thousands of years, American Indians had been living along the Central Oregon Coast when the first European explorers and fur traders began to invade their territory. The first non-Indian tourists arrived in 1837 when a French Canadian Hudson’s Bay Company guide led two recently married couples into the area for a belated honeymoon. The couples spend a week a Road’s End at the north end of present-day Lincoln City.
