Benton County Almanac for 1874.
Alsea Valley is twenty five miles southwest of Corvallis. The upper valley is ten miles long, and lies in a somewhat triangular form . . . being about three miles broad in the widest part. . . consisting of grass-covered hills interspersed with beautiful valleys. The Alsea River affording splendid water power, traverses the whole length of the valley; the soil is very rich and can be plowed at all seasons of the year. The streams are cold, clear as crystal, and abound with trout at all times, and salmon in their season. About sixty families now reside in the upper valley. They now have a post office, with Thomas RUSSELL, Esq., as P.M., a good flouring and saw mill, David RUBLE, proprietor, and a blacksmith shop by Eli MASON. Also a good school house and a large school. This valley was first settled in the fall of 1852. Among the oldest settlers yet living are S. L. RYCRAFT, Jacob HOLGATE, Thomas HAYDEN, Jeremiah MASON, J. G. CLARK, and James K. McCORMICK. To the southwest, in the Coast Range, lie Lobster and Five Rivers valleys, which are now being rapidly settled up and will furnish homes for about 150 families. The land is rich and adapted to farming or grazing.
The lower Alsea Valley contains nearly as many families as the upper. They are endeavoring to organize school districts and desire a post office. It is twenty-five miles from the upper valley to tidewater, where there are two first class saw mills, one owned by Messrs. PEEK, and the other by Mr. STROPE. Dense forests of the finest fir timber are in close proximity, and game and fish of all kinds abundant.
