Waldport is a forested coastal town that spans the beautiful Alsea Bay. Sandy, unspoiled beaches, wooded hiking trails, and a diversity of wildlife make this spot a surprisingly varied, but often passed-over, destination. Here, a distinctive concrete arch bridge spans Alsea Bay where it meets the ocean.
What is the history of Waldport Oregon?
The name stems from the German word "wald" for forest and "port" for the location. In October of 1879, David and Orlena Ruble laid out the City of Waldport, using the nighttime stars as their survey guide. The city was chartered in 1890 and incorporated in 1911. The townsite is an old Indian burial ground.
