Toledo, Oregon

USA / Oregon / Toledo /
Toledo is a city in Lincoln County, Oregon, United States. The population was 3,465 at the 2010 census.

Toledo, situated on a bend of the Yaquina River and surrounded by wooded hills, is just seven miles inland from the Central Oregon Coast, the only inland coastal community with a deep water channel. The historic town cascades over the hillsides to the river. Once a bustling mill town, Toledo is known today for antiques, its thriving community of artists living and working in Toledo, world-class skate park, and shops specializing in locally handcrafted gifts.

Toledo is one of the few cities in Oregon which has a downtown on a city street, not on a throughway or highway. Toledo's Main Street retains its historical flavor, the waterfront and fishing vessels visible moored at the end of Main, and the handcrafted tile mural.

Comments

  • Toledo is still a busting mill town and the artists, wherever they are, don't exactly swarm about on the main street. Georgia-Pacific’s paper mill churns and whines 24 hours a day. The railroad switch engine blares its horn at even 3 o’clock in the morning.
