Mohler is an unincorporated community in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is located east of U.S. Route 101 on Oregon Route 53.[2]

It was named after A. L. Mohler, who was once president of the Union Pacific Railroad.[3] The first post office in the area was established in 1897 and named "Balm".[4] It was located on Foley Creek about two miles southeast of present-day Mohler.[4] In 1911 the name was changed to Mohler at the request of E. E. Lytle, who built the Pacific Railway & Navigation Company line into that part of the county.[4] The post office was moved to the present locale of Mohler at the same time as the name change and operated there until 1959.[4]
