The Umpqua Post was a weekly newspaper serving Reedsport, Oregon, United States and the surrounding area in Douglas and Coos counties from 1996 to 2020. It was published each Wednesday by The World newspaper in Coos Bay. The paper was distributed in Reedsport and nearby Gardiner, Scottsburg, Elkton, Winchester Bay and Coos Bay.
The UmpquaPost was first published on November 4, 1996, by founders Elizabeth Adamo and Nancie Hammond. When it launched Reedsport had a population around 4,900 and already had another paper called The Courier. This made the town one of two Oregon cities to have two general-circulation weekly newspapers, with the other being John Day. [1] Eight years later the Post was purchased by Pulitzer, Inc. in 2004. [2] Ownership shifted to Lee Enterprises in 2005 with that company's acquisition of Pulitzer. [3] In January 2020, Lee sold the Post to Country Media, Inc., [4] who shuttered the publication in June 2020. At the time, publisher Ben Kenfield cited the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for the closure. [5]

The history of steamboats on the Oregon Coast begins in the late 19th century. Before the development of modern road and rail networks, transportation on the coast of Oregon was largely water-borne. This article focuses on inland steamboats and similar craft operating in, from south to north on the coast: Rogue River, Coquille River, Coos Bay, Umpqua River, Siuslaw Bay, Yaquina Bay, Siletz River, and Tillamook Bay. The boats were all very small, nothing like the big sternwheelers and propeller boats that ran on the Columbia River or Puget Sound. There were many of them, however, and they came to be known as the "mosquito fleet."
