Contents

Glasgow is located on the north side of Coos Bay, about 6 miles (10 km) north of the city of Coos Bay, just east of U.S. Route 101. [8] [9]

The community was founded by real estate speculators in the 1890s, including Henry L. Pittock, Phil Metschan, and Admiral Schley of the Pacific Coal & Transportation Company. [8] The community did not flourish until 30 years after its founding, when construction of Route 101 made Glasgow the northern terminus of the ferry [10] from North Bend, which was used to cross the bay prior to the completion of the Coos Bay Bridge. [8] [11] [12] The place was supposedly named by a Scot because it reminded him of Glasgow, Scotland, but the authors of Oregon Geographic Names were unable to verify this. [8]

Glasgow has a store and a Grange hall, the North Bayside Grange, also known as the Glasgow Grange, that was built in 1928. [13] [14] A humorous sign at the store states that the community's population is "275.5", the .5 for store owner and "self-proclaimed mayor", Jack S. Stevens. [15] [16] [17]
