This Coos County website contains a variety of genealogical records including birth announcements, marriages, military
records, census, biographies, schools, town, newspaper clippings and obituaries as shown on the menu to the left.
We regret that we do not have the time to perform personal
research for you.
All data we come across will be placed on this website.
Coos County was created by the Territorial Legislature from parts of Umpqua and Jackson Counties in 1853 and included
Curry County until 1855. The county seat was Empire City until 1896, when it was moved to Coquille. Although trappers
had been in the area a quarter-century earlier, the first permanent settlement in present Coos County was at Empire
City, now part of Coos Bay, by members of the Coos Bay Company in 1853. The name 'Coos' derives from a native Coos
Bay Indian tribe and translates to 'lake' or 'place of pines.'
