Remote, Oregon

Remote, Oregon

Remote is an unincorporated community located in Coos County, Oregon, United States, on the Coquille River.

Remote was named by local pioneers for its distance from other settlements. Its post office was established in 1887. Oregon Route 42 used to run through the center of the community, but realignment of the highway has left Remote several hundred yards away.cite book
