Curry County

Curry County is located on the Southwestern tip of Oregon near Coos and Josephine counties. This county covers over 1,500 square miles. In 1891 Gold Beach, the current county seat, was selected.

Farming and tourism are the main forms of earning a living in the county as it has excellent grazing areas for raising cattle and sheep. The county also produces blueberries, horticultural nursery stock, and ninety percent of all Easter lilies raised in the United States. Vacation and recreational possibilities in the county draw tourists to the area and provide additional economic diversity.

In 2000 the population of Curry County was 21,137, and that figure is steadily increasing.
