Dellwood is an unincorporated community in Coos County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is about 12 miles (19 km) east of Coos Bay, east of Oregon Route 241 on the South Fork Coos River.[2]
Dellwood was originally named Idlewood, but when a post office was established there in 1940, postal officials did not approve the name because of its similarity to Idleyld in Douglas County.[3] Dellwood was chosen from among several suggestions for its similarity to the old name.[3] The post office closed in 1954.[3]
Dellwood is the site of a Weyerhaeuser log yard and was once a log dump for sending rafts of logs downriver to Coos Bay for export.[4][5] Access to the South Fork Coos River above Dellwood for recreational use, including hunting and fishing, is regulated by Weyerhaeuser.[6] The Weyerhaeuser sawmill at Dellwood was closed in 1991.[7]
