Welcome Welcome to the 2010 Cottage Grove Guidebook, the Cottage Grove Sentinel’s annual community resource directory. Inside this handy guide, you will find basic information about the community of Cottage Grove. Whether you’ve lived here all your life or are a visitor passing through, you’ll discover much useful information. Cottage Grove was named an All-America City in 2004 and 1968. It is just one of two cities in Oregon to receive this prestigious award more than once. This book is an excellent primer on all that the city has to offer. Its reader-friendly listings will save time deciding who to call at City Hall, what resources are available in town, what community events are happening this year, where to find a church, who to call for social or medical help — and much, much more. We recommend that you keep this guide with your telephone book for easy access. You never know when you might need it. Additional copies are available, free of charge. Just stop by the Sentinel office at 116 N. Sixth St. in downtown Cottage Grove or call 942-3325. Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy the guide.

Cottage Grove History hen the first settlers arrived in the Cottage Grove area in 1 , they encountered the alapuya Indians, who lived in the southern illamette alley and northern ouglas County. heir villages dotted the ban s of the Coast or of the illamette iver, ow iver and Sil Cree . heir numbers uic ly diminished as some left the area to avoid settlers. Others were ta en to reservations, and many died after catching diseases introduced into their society by white pioneers. Sam ern, the last nown full blooded alapuya Indian who lived in Cottage Grove, died Sept. , 1 1 . any early settlers traveled to Cottage Grove on the Applegate rail, which left the Oregon rail in Idaho, crossed Nevada and came into southern Oregon over the Cascade ountains. Other settlers followed the northern route down the Columbia iver to Oregon City and then traveled south through the illamette alley to ane County. he and onation Claim Act of 1 5 encouraged more Americans to see a life in the Oregon erritory. ligible single men received 3 acres, and married men received twice that amount. Among the first settlers was ichard obinson, who sta ed a claim three miles north of Cottage Grove in 1 . ames Chapin followed in 1 . e came to the valley from the west, crossing the Coast ange after his ship oundered off the Oregon Coast. e settled south of Cottage Grove and his house built in 1 65 stands derelict today on ugan ane. A cottage owned by Greenbery C. Pearce was home to the first post office in 1 55. It was located in an oa grove near Creswell — hence the name Cottage Grove. he post office gradually moved to Cottage Grove, stopping for a time in Saginaw and then to the west ban of the Coast or to the settlement of Slabtown, so named because rough plan s were placed on the often muddy iver oad. After the railroad arrived in 1 , a feud bro e out between west siders and those east of the river in the town of emati over which side of the river the post office would occupy. Over time, homes and businesses filled in between the two settlements and they became nown as Cottage Grove.

Steam locomotive No. 19, the “Blue Goose,� operated passenger excursions on the Oregon Pacific & Eastern rail line from 1970 to 1989. Bohemia City was founded in 1 66 and mining began in earnest in the 1 s, bringing an in ux of businesses into Cottage Grove. unnels were dug into the mountains and the ore was hauled down the mountain and shipped to smelters for refining. ining activities declined in the 1 s, although several claims remain active today in the Bohemia ining istrict in mountains southeast of Cottage Grove. looding was a common problem in Cottage Grove until the 1 s, when the .S. Army Corps of ngineers constructed Cottage Grove eservoir on the Coast or and orena eservoir on ow iver. oday much of the area s history is displayed at the Cottage Grove useum, located at Street and Birch Avenue in an octagonal building that once was home to the Catholic Church. he Cottage Grove istorical ibrary, located at 3 ain St., also contains much information pertaining to businesses, buildings, churches and schools that pertains to the development of the area. esidents and business people have wor ed to preserve the avor of the community by preserving many historic buildings and adding murals, creating a bridge between yesterday and today.

ransportation was a challenge in the small town. orsebac and wagons gave way to the railroad until the Pacific ighway was constructed at the site of present day iver oad. ater, ighway became the main north south route on the Pacific Coast. In 1 5 , Interstate 5 opened on the east side of the city.

MUSEUMS AND HISTORY

Agriculture and timber have been among the town s ma or industries from its earliest days. One of the first sawmills was built in Saginaw by . . ones. he mill featured a ume that was six miles long and 11 feet high to oat logs across elight alley to the mill. After orld ar II, mills in the area expanded as a building boom drove the nation s economy.

Economy

Housing Outlook

Cottage Grove has spent most of its history as the quintessential “timber town.” However, wood products industries declined sharply during the 1980s. Since 1981, nearly 70 percent of all timber-related jobs have disappeared. Today, timber is still an important part of the town’s economy, but it is no longer the dominant source of employment and income for Cottage Grove. he town has successfully diversified its employment base.

Cottage Grove’s housing market continues its recovery from the recent economic landscape. Realtors explain that the town still needs to sell its foreclosure inventory, but that signs of recovery are evident in both the commercial and residential real estate landscapes.

Currently, Cottage Grove’s new industrial park on Highway 99S is the city’s trump card in an effort to attract more family-wage jobs. Development in the industrial park has progressed at such a rate that only one lot currently remains unoccupied.

While many people worry about housing prices and thier equities, the longer range view might be in order. Housing prices peaked in 2007, and have fallen since then, but a look at the overall growth in value from January 2000 to January 2009 is in order. The average growth for that period in Lane County was 54 percent, which is a 6 percent average growth per year.

Cottage Grove is home to close to 600 retail, service and manufacturing businesses. South Lane School District is the area’s biggest employer; other major employers are Safeway, WalMart, Cottage Grove Community Hospital and Weyerhaeuser Co.

We had a bubble in 2007, and a correction in 2008. Now, home prices in Cottage Grove are stabilizing at about the 2005 value.

Still other important employers include Starfire umber Co., right achine ool, Pacific urts, erritorial Seed Co., imwood Corp, and Side Pocket Distillery and Beverage. Principal industries in the Cottage Grove area are agriculture, education, wood products and health care. The city, dubbed the “Covered Bridge Capital of Oregon,” is also expanding its efforts toward making tourism an economical focus. The areas surrounding Cottage Grove also boast several high-class wineries including Saginaw, Iris, Chateau orane, and ing state vineyards. Cottage Grove’s retail market area extends north to Creswell; east to Culp Cree and isston west to orane and south to oncalla Drain. Including Cottage Grove’s 9,445 residents, this market area includes approximately 30,000 people. Members of these households come to the city’s three major shopping centers — the Gateway Plaza which includes Bi-Mart and Sears, Wal-Mart on Row River Road, the Safeway Shopping Center and Village Shopping Center — as well as numerous specialty shops and restaurants in historic downtown Cottage Grove. Cottage Grove also serves as a bedroom community for the ugene Springfield area — letting people who have obs in the “big city” enjoy a friendly, small-town environment for their families to “have their cake and eat it, too.”

n The Northwest’s Finest Gardening Seed n Flowers, Herbs, & Shrubs n Vegetable Transplants n Fruit Trees

New development is continuing in Cottage Grove, and the town remains a desirable community in which to live. This coupled with low interest rates and the new stimulus package helping people to return to the work force should make an ideal situation for the Cottage Grove housing market. The rebound of California’s housing market will only help matters.

Cottage Grove High School Cottage Grove High School is in its seventh year at its new site and as a result of the new facilities, many academic and extracurricular offerings have been added. Located at 1375 South River Road, the expansive campus is much like that of a college or university. A broad array of core curriculum and professional technical sources is available and students can earn up to 70 hours of college credit before leaving high school. Advanced placement experiences are available in calculus, chemistry, statistics, biology, and psychology. Through AP exams, students have an opportunity to earn credit or advanced placement status at most of the nation’s colleges and universities, as well as colleges and universities in 28 other countries. Cottage Grove High School also offers college credit in physics, literature, and Spanish at Lane Community College. L.C.C. is located next door to the new school, providing an extended learning opportunity in close proximity. Professional-technical opportunities are a showcase at the new facility. Courses in tourism, health occupations, early childhood, drafting, construction, information technology and industrial engineering are provided in state-of-the-art classrooms. These courses also have college credit options through agreements with

several Oregon community colleges. Developing a “Culture of Achievement� has been a main focus since the high school opened in 2003. The goal is to create a culture in which achievement is the norm and all students, staff, and families work toward that end. A team of approximately 30 members, including staff, students, parents, and administration meet monthly and work on ideas for promoting achievement. Positive results have been a by-product of these efforts to increase achievement. Students are being asked to do more and the failure rate has gone down. Each term at least 50 percent of the student body consistently earns a 3.00 GPA or higher. Both CGHS and Lincoln Middle School have been awarded 21st Century Community Learning Center grants to provide both summer and after-school opportunities for their students. The five year grant began with summer school in 6 and numerous incentives and enrichment classes are also provided throughout the school year. For information about Cottage Grove High School or any other c i a c i ic ca i ic fic at 942-3381.

Things to do isitors to the historic town of Cottage Grove will find it and the surrounding area to be literally a gold mine of activity and exploration for all ages. There are nuggets to be found in both the town and country for those willing to search them out. Adults and children alike will want to explore our historic downtown with its beautiful city parks, colorful murals, museum and the Gibbs Center Art Gallery, which is open year-round. Recreation opportunities abound for those who are inclined to get out and explore the countryside, including a covered bridge tour and the Bohemia mining district. There are two U.S. Army Corps of Engineer reservoirs located outside of town that draw locals and visitors from around the state to their shores. Serene Cottage Grove a e is a short five mile drive south of town going out Sixth Street to London and Reservoir roads. The lake is three miles long and covers 1,158 acres when it’s full. Tent and RV camping are available at Pine Meadows Campground, in addition to a nearby primitive campground. Swimming, fishing and picnicking are also available at Shortridge and Wilson Creek Parks. Dorena Lake is six miles east of Cottage Grove by way of Row River Road. This large lake covers 1,900 acres when full and

features camping, a large boat ramp and picnic area at nearby Baker Bay Park. Schwarz Park is nearby and also offers camping. Umpqua National Forest boasts a wide selection of hiking trails, campgrounds, picnicking spots, waterfalls and places to commune with nature. The forest covers 984,602 acres of mountain woodlands and is about 15 miles east of town, beyond Dorena Lake. The Row River Trail is a popular Rails-to-Trails project that begins in Cottage Grove and winds 17 miles along the Row River, passing Dorena Lake along the way. It is a safe, scenic path that is paved for walking, biking or horseback riding. The gentle hills are possible for most stages of fitness, and the gorgeous scenery makes the effort worthwhile. Culture comes in many forms and includes performances at the Cottage Theatre’s beautiful state-of-the-art, $1 million facility that attracts and features local actors in a variety of plays. Other annual events include the rodeo and Bohemia Mining Days celebration in July, the Cottage Grove Family Fair and Timber Carnival in August, Gathering of Gardeners in September, Downtown Chili Cook-off in October and the December lighting of the Main Street Christmas tree.
