Cutler City is located along the Siletz Bay at the south end of Lincoln City's String of (six) Pearls, or Districts.

Excerpt from History of Cutler City District

"On the central Oregon coast, a sliver of land lays between the mountains and the sea, bounded to the north by the Salmon River and to the south by the Siletz River. With Devils Lake at its center, it is a land of many waters, mild temperatures, lush vegetation, towering spruce trees and abundant terres-
trial and sea life.

This little bit of paradise remained as nature shaped it for many thousands of years. Due in large part to its inaccessibility, it remained relatively untouched by westward expansion and modern development. Wagon roads turned to mud holes in the winter months and trains never quite made it to this area from more habitable places to the east.

Settlement by the “New Americans” finally came in the late 1890s when homesteaders began to find their way into the more hospitable corners of this windswept coast. A string of small towns and cities, each with its own beginning and history grew up along the rivers and ocean. Soon these towns
began to spread out and overlap, eventually combining to become Lincoln City.

Cutler City was one of these towns, situated on the southeast side of Siletz Bay between Schooner Creek and Drift Creek. While its history is linked with the history of north Lincoln County, its history as a town is distinctly different from the other towns. The following narrative explores the history and heritage of Cutler City as a unique entity within the larger context of the surrounding area."
