Cottage Grove History

W

hen the first settlers arrived in the Cottage Grove area in 1848, they encountered the Kalapuya Indians, who lived in the southern Willamette Valley and northern Douglas County. Their villages dotted the banks of the Coast Fork of the Willamette River, Row River and Silk Creek. Their numbers quickly diminished as some left the area to avoid settlers. Others were taken to reservations, and many died after catching diseases introduced into their society by white pioneers. Sam Fern, the last known full-blooded Kalapuya Indian who lived in Cottage Grove, died Sept. 4, 1919. Many early settlers traveled to Cottage Grove on the Applegate Trail, which left the Oregon Trail in Idaho, crossed Nevada and came into southern Oregon over the Cascade Mountains. Other settlers followed the northern route down the Columbia River to Oregon City and then traveled south through the Willamette Valley to Lane County. The Land Donation Claim Act of 1850 encouraged more Americans to seek a life in the Oregon Territory. Eligible single men received 320 acres, and married men received twice that amount. Among the first settlers was Richard Robinson, who staked a claim three miles north of Cottage Grove in 1847. James Chapin followed in 1848. He came to the valley from the west, crossing the Coast Range after his ship floundered off the Oregon Coast. He settled south of Cottage Grove and his house built in 1865 stands derelict today on Dugan Lane. A cottage owned by Greenbery C. Pearce was home to the first post office in 1855. It was located in an oak grove near Creswell — hence the name Cottage Grove. The post office gradually moved to Cottage Grove, stopping for a time in Saginaw and then to the west bank of the Coast Fork to the settlement of Slabtown, so named because rough planks were placed on the often muddy River Road. After the railroad arrived in 1872, a feud broke out between west siders and those east of the river in the town of Lemati over which side of the river the post office would occupy. Over time, homes and businesses filled in between the two settlements and they became known as Cottage Grove.

Steam locomotive No. 19, the “Blue Goose,” operated passenger excursions on the Oregon Pacific & Eastern rail line from 1970 to 1989. Bohemia City was founded in 1866 and mining began in earnest in the 1890s, bringing an influx of businesses into Cottage Grove. Tunnels were dug into the mountains and the ore was hauled down the mountain and shipped to smelters for refining. Mining activities declined in the 1920s, although several claims remain active today in the Bohemia Mining District in mountains southeast of Cottage Grove. Flooding was a common problem in Cottage Grove until the 1940s, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed Cottage Grove Reservoir on the Coast Fork and Dorena Reservoir on Row River. Today much of the area’s history is displayed at the Cottage Grove Museum, located at H Street and Birch Avenue in an octagonal building that once was home to the Catholic Church. The Cottage Grove Historical Library, located at 737 Main St., also contains much information pertaining to businesses, buildings, churches and schools that pertains to the development of the area. Residents and business people have worked to preserve the flavor of the community by preserving many historic buildings and adding murals, creating a bridge between yesterday and today.

MUSEUMS AND HISTORY

Transportation was a challenge in the small town. Horseback and wagons gave way to the railroad until the Pacific Highway was constructed at the site of present-day River Road. Later, Highway 99 became the main north-south route on the Pacific Coast. In 1957, Interstate 5 opened on the east side of the city.

Bohemia Gold Mining Museum: 737 E. Main St, Cottage Grove, 97424. 541-942-5022. Open Wednesday thru Saturday 1-4 p.m. Cottage Grove Genealogical Society: 207 H Street, Cottage Grove, 97424. Contact: Phyllis Pruitt, 541-942-3068 or 541-942-9570

Agriculture and timber have been among the town’s major industries from its earliest days. One of the first sawmills was built in Saginaw by J.J. Jones. The mill featured a flume that was six miles long and 110 feet high to float logs across Delight Valley to the mill. After World War II, mills in the area expanded as a building boom drove the nation’s economy.

Cottage Grove Historical Society: 737 E. Main St, Cottage Grove, 97424. 942-5022. Contacts: Marcia Allen, 541-9422255, and Lois Fix, 541-942-4614. Cottage Grove Museum: Corner of H Street and Birch Avenue, 942-3963. Historical building full of local and regional history. Open Saturday and Sunday from 1-4 p.m.

Mining was also a means for early residents to fill their purses. As early as 1863 gold was discovered in the Bohemia Mountains (so named for one of its early miners, James “Bohemia” Johnson).

Economy

C

ottage Grove has spent most of its history as the quintessential “timber town.� However, wood products industries declined sharply during the 1980s. Since 1981, nearly 80 percent of all timber-related jobs have disappeared.

Capital of Oregon,� is also expanding its efforts toward making tourism an economical focus. The areas surrounding Cottage Grove also boast several world-class wineries including Saginaw, Iris, Chateau-Lorane, and King Estate vineyards.

Today, timber is still an important part of the town’s economy, but it is no longer the dominant source of employment and income for Cottage Grove. The town has successfully diversified its employment base.

Cottage Grove’s retail market area extends north to Creswell; east to Culp Creek and Disston; west to Lorane; and south to Yoncalla/ Drain. Including Cottage Grove’s 9,495 residents, this market area includes approximately 35,000 people.

Cottage Grove is home to more than 600 retail, service and manufacturing businesses. South Lane School District is the area’s biggest employer; other major employers are Cottage Grove Community Hospital and Weyerhaeuser Co.

Members of these households come to the city’s three major shopping centers — the Gateway Plaza which includes Bi-Mart and Sears, Wal-Mart on Row River Road, the Safeway Shopping Center - as well as numerous specialty shops and restaurants in historic downtown Cottage Grove.

Still other important employers include Starfire Lumber Co., Wright Machine Tool, Pacific Yurts, Territorial Seed Co., Kimwood Corp, and Side Pocket Distillery and Beverage.

Cottage Grove also serves as a bedroom community for the Eugene-Springfield area — letting people who have jobs in the “big city� enjoy a friendly, small-town environment for their families to “have their cake and eat it, too.�

Principal industries in the Cottage Grove area are education, wood products and health care. The city, dubbed the “Covered Bridge

Housing Outlook

C

ottage Grove’s housing market continues to show signs of stress brought on by the recent economic landscape. However, a local realtor explains that home prices are finally leveling off after a long slide. Today’s homes are currently selling at prices comparable to prices from 2003-04, the years before the housing bubble shot prices skyward.

said, finds buyers closing on houses in 45 to 60 days, as opposed to the 90 days or more required for a typical sale. May said many homebuyers are getting great deals on houses using such methods.

Advantage Plus

“Banks have begun doing their due diligence to get fair market value on the foreclosures they’re holding,� said Board of Realtors President Shane May. “This helps everybody in the long run, because your property value isn’t being affected by the fact that your neighbor’s house went so cheap.�

Hemenway Realtors has been the leader in our local market for over 50 years and are part of the RE/MAX Network. We look forward to making our relationship with you an advantage for your local real estate needs!

May explained that, while terrific deals are still available to prospective buyers in Cottage Grove, this reversal by the banks means that home prices are now more closely reflecting the value of local homes. May also explained that the process of “short selling� is seeing more prevalence in today’s real estate market. Short selling, he

Public Safety Police

Fire and Ambulance

Cottage Grove’s first police department consisted of Samuel Veatch, who was elected as the first town marshal in 1887.

South Lane County Fire and Rescue was created through a merger between Creswell Fire Department and Cottage Grove/South Lane Rural Fire Department July 1, 2003.

Today, the town’s police department consists of the police chief, an operations commander, two investigators and 14 patrol officers. In addition, there are eight administrative and supportservices personnel, one part-time Peer Court administrators and five volunteer reserve officers.

The fire district covers 150 square miles and has stations in Cottage Grove, Creswell and Saginaw. Camas Swale also has a substation. The ambulance district covers 800 square miles from just south of Goshen to the Douglas and Lane county line, west to Lorane and east past Dorena. Interstate 5 intersects the district.

These staffers provide full-time, 24-hour police coverage plus a full-time 911 dispatch center for police, fire and ambulance. The department also maintains an eight-cell correctional facility and provides police services for municipal court.

There are 17 crewmembers in the department and a target of 65 volunteers. These include paid and volunteer firefighters, paramedics, EMTs and other staff.

The police department also handles the South Lane County 911 Center, which is responsible for 911 emergency coverage throughout a 900-square-mile area.

The department has four medic units (ambulances), three water tenders, one aerial apparatus, four brush trucks and six fire engines for fire response and suppression, emergency medical response and transport and rescue services.

Cottage Grove Community Hospital Services at Cottage Grove Community Hospital:

PeaceHealth’s Cottage Grove Community Hospital is a 14bed hospital located at 1515 Village Drive, its home since 2003. The state-of-the-art, 40,000-square-foot facility has a 24-hour emergency department, a complete medical lab and a digitally enhanced radiology and imaging department.

Emergency Medicine: Cottage Grove Community Hospital’s Emergency Department is equipped to deal with emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The emergency department is equipped with the latest in monitoring, imaging and digital technology to quickly serve patients who need immediate medical attention.

The hospital and adjoining medical clinic also offer robust physical therapy services as well as a full roster of family practice, internal medicine and pediatric primary care physicians and nurse practitioners who are located in Cottage Grove as well as the nearby communities of Creswell and Dexter.

Medical Unit: The hospital’s medical unit provides inpatient care, including wound care, IV therapy, and Hospice. Physical Therapy Service: Our physical therapy department sees patients who are in the hospital as well as outpatients from the community. Recently, we added new pieces of exercise equipment that help with core strengthening and stability as well as cardiovascular endurance training.

As a member of the PeaceHealth system, Cottage Grove Community Hospital is linked with specialists and experts throughout the PeaceHealth system of care.

Digital Imaging: The hospital offers both digital mammography and a state-of-the-art, 64-slice CT scanner that allows physicians to see detailed pictures inside the body, which makes Cottage Grove Community Hospital an excellent choice for South Lane and North Douglas County patients to get diagnostic imaging done close to home. The Cottage Grove Clinic Providers at our clinic specialize in three areas: family practice, internal medicine and pediatrics. Family medicine physicians specialize in the care of entire families of all ages; internal medicine physicians focus on the health of adults; and pediatricians handle the physical, emotional and social health of children from birth to young adulthood.

C

is to create a culture in which achievement is the norm and all students, staff, and families work toward that end. A team of approximately 15 members, including staff, students,parents, and administrators meet monthly and work on ideas for promoting achievement.

ottage Grove High School is in its eighth year at its new site and as a result of the new facilities, many academic and extra-curricular offerings have been added. Located at 1375 South River Road, the expansive campus is much like that of a college or university. A broad array of core curriculum and professional technical cources are available and students can earn up to 70 hours of college credit before leaving high school.

A dedicated and talented staff works hard to support student learning and achievement. Positive results have been a by-product of these efforts to increase achievement as student state scores test scores have shown steady improvement during the last five years.

Advanced placement experiences are available in calculus, chemistry, statistics, biology, and psychology. Through AP exams, students have an opportunity to earn credit or advanced placement status at most of the nation’s colleges and universities, as well as colleges and universities in 28 other countries. Cottage Grove High School also offers college credit in physics, literature, and Spanish at Lane Community College. L.C.C. is located next door to the new school, providing an extended learning opportunity in close proximity.

In addition to the strong academic programs offered at CGHS, there are many opportunities for students to be involved in cocurricular activities which include champion athletics teams, and numerous clubs and leadership groups. Students at Cottage Grove High School care about their community and volunteer many hours to support after school programs for younger children and other community needs. The students and staff are unified in creating a caring and friendly environment for learning at the school. CGHS has been awarded 21st Century Community Learning Center grants to provide both summer and after-school opportunities for students. The five-year grant began with summer school in 2006 and numerous incentives and enrichment classes are provided throughout the school year.

Professional-technical opportunities are a showcase at the new facility. Courses in tourism, health occupations, early childhood, drafting, construction, information technology and industrial engineering are provided in state-of-the-art classrooms. These courses also have college credit options through agreements with several Oregon community colleges.

For information about Cottage Grove High School or any other school in the South Lane School District, call the district office at 541-942-3381.

CGHS is well known for its award-winning visual and performing arts offerings. Developing a “Culture of Achievement” has been a main focus since the high school opened in 2003. The goal

Transportation Flat, pleasantly laid-back and endowed with an extensive network of bicycle lanes and paths, Cottage Grove may be a bicycle buff’s dream.

South Lane Wheels provides general and specialized transportation throughout the area with the Route•Around•Town, Door to Door local and regional, and Metro Medical services to Eugene and Springfield. For other trips to Eugene, the LTD city bus (which covers an extensive network of stops throughout the Eugene-Springfield area) is just the ticket.

Things to do

V

Adults and children alike will want to explore our historic downtown with its beautiful city parks, colorful murals, museum and the Gibbs Center Art Gallery, which is open year-round.

Dorena Lake is six miles east of Cottage Grove by way of Row River Road. This large lake covers 1,900 acres when full and features camping, a large boat ramp and picnic area at nearby Baker Bay Park. Schwarz Park is nearby and also offers camping. Umpqua National Forest boasts a wide selection of hiking trails, campgrounds, picnicking spots, waterfalls and places to commune with nature. The forest covers 984,602 acres of mountain woodlands and is about 15 miles east of town, beyond Dorena Lake.

Recreation opportunities abound for those who are inclined to get out and explore the countryside, including a covered bridge tour and the Bohemia mining district. There are two U.S. Army Corps of Engineer reservoirs located outside of town that draw locals and visitors from around the state to their shores.

The Row River Trail is a popular Rails-to-Trails project that begins in Cottage Grove and winds 17 miles along the Row River, passing Dorena Lake along the way. It is a safe, scenic path that is paved for walking, biking or horseback riding. The gentle hills are possible for most stages of fitness, and the gorgeous scenery makes the effort worthwhile.

Serene Cottage Grove Lake is a short five-mile drive south of town going out Sixth Street to London and Reservoir roads. The lake is three miles long and covers 1,158 acres when it’s full. Tent and RV camping are available at Pine Meadows Campground, in addition to a nearby primitive campground. Swimming, fishing and picnicking are also available at Shortridge and Wilson Creek Parks.

Culture comes in many forms and includes performances at the Cottage Theatre’s beautiful state-of-the-art, $1 million facility that attracts and features local actors in a variety of plays. Other annual events include the rodeo and Bohemia Mining Days celebration in July, the Cottage Grove Family Fair and Timber Carnival in August, Gathering of Gardeners in September, Downtown Chili Cook-off in October and the December lighting of the Main Street Christmas tree.

isitors to the historic town of Cottage Grove will find it and the surrounding area to be literally a gold mine of activity and exploration for all ages. There are nuggets to be found in both the town and country for those willing to search them out.
