Coos Bay
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Coos Bay is small S-shaped inlet, approximately 10 mi (16 km) long and 2 mi (3 km) wide, on the Pacific Ocean coast of southwestern Oregon in the United States. The town of Coos Bay is named for the bay and located on its inner side.
It located in northern Coos County. In addition to the town of Coos Bay, the town of North Bend is located along the bay. The Coos River enters the way from the east, descending from the Coastal Range. The bay and the towns along it have formed one of the most important ports throughout the history of the state, especially for timber from the surrounding forest regions.
