Bandon lies at the mouth of the Coquille River on Oregon's southern coast. It has an Old Town harbor for fishing boats and Bandon State Airport for small planes.
An Irish settler named the town after Bandon in Ireland in the 1870s. A 1936 fire fueled by invasive gorse destroyed most of the town, which was later rebuilt.
