Welcome to the Oregon Trails site

for Curry County, part of the Genealogy Trails family.

Welcome!

My name is Robyn Greenlund and I am the host of the Curry County Genealogy Trails page. The goal is to offer tons of free genealogical information on each page. While the Illinois Genealogy Trails page is 7 years old, the rest of the states are just starting out and we need your help. Perhaps you would like to Volunteer to host a county in Oregon, or even take on another state. Visiting the volunteer page on the main Genealogy Trails site will tell you everything you need to know. Even if you don't want to do that I would love to have any source data you have used in your own search to add to these web pages. I need all your help! I will be glad to put your information online so please feel free to email me with any questions, comments or information.

Named after Territorial Governor George L. Curry, the county was a part of “Coose” [sic] County until it was created in 1855. Port Orford was the county seat until 1859 when it was replaced by Ellensburg (it was later renamed Gold Beach).

Over 95% of all bulbs grown for the potted Easter Lily market are produced by just ten farms in a narrow coastal region straddling the California-Oregon border, from Smith River, California up to Brookings, Oregon, making the lily a recognized symbol of this beautiful area.
