History

The Coast Reservation was established on November 9, 1855, by executive order for the coastal Indian tribes of Oregon.[1]

Original area

The original reservation's western boundary ran 105 miles along the Pacific Ocean from present-day Dunes City in the south to Cape Lookout in the north.[2] The eastern boundary was roughly the summit of the Central Oregon Coast Range.[3] The reservation comprised 1.1 million acres, or about one-third of the Oregon Coast.[4] The area encompassed most of present-day Lincoln County, much of western Lane County, and parts of Douglas, Benton, Yamhill, and Tillamook counties.[5][6]
