From the brochure: "Nestled in the heart of Oregon's Williamette Valley is Coburg - a small, yet vibrant and growing community composed of charming, historic architecture. Jacob Spores and John Diamond were the first settlers in Coburg. They arrived at the Williamette Forks in 1847. By 1855, Spores and Diamond had erected a sawmill, which elicited a significant interest in lumber manufacturing and remained the town's most popular industry until the early 20th century. Coburg officially incorporated as a town in 1907; and in 1986 Coburg's historic district was placed in the National Register of Historic Places. We invite you to turn the pages of this booklet for a snapshot of Coburg's early days, a peek at its charming historic architecture and a front-row seat to the small town life we are all so proud of. A total of 18 of Coburg's 116 historic properties are showcased in this booklet - but please note, every property in our historic district has a unique and fascinating story to tell. Enjoy your stroll through Coburg's tree-lined, historic district, rich in history and charm!"
