RV rental Bandon, OR: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Bandon is a city in Coos County, in the U.S. state of Oregon. The area attracted public notice when, in 1851, French trappers discovered gold at Whiskey Run Beach and word spread; settlers began to arrive and, in 1853, the present townsite was established. It was known as Averill until 1874, when the town's name was changed to Bandon by George Bennett, after his hometown, Bandon, Ireland. The city's first post office was built in 1877 and the city was incorporated in 1891. Bandon's early economy was partially dependent on cheesemaking, and lumber and wood products, but by 1910 it had become a popular tourist destination. By 1912, it had become an important port for ships traveling between Portland and San Francisco.

In the mid-1930s, local cranberry farmers had organized a cooperative but their plans were put on hold when a fire destroyed large sections of the community. The town was later rebuilt and the cooperative continued, holding its first cranberry festival in 1947. Today the town is known as “The Cranberry Capital of Oregon”; it is still reliant on forestry product, cranberry production and processing, tourism and other industries for its economy, and is sometimes referred to in tourism literature as “Bandon By The Sea”.
