OceanLake is the second district in Lincoln City's String of (six) Pearls, from north to south.

Excerpt from History of OceanLake District

"Oceanlake, the largest of all the cities that merged to become Lincoln City in 1996, was in many ways Lincoln City long before there was such a town. Both Oceanlake and Lincoln City are the sum of smaller towns combined. In both instances the principal reason for the towns combining was the advantage gained by economy of scale in providing essential city services such as fire protection, sewer, and water.

Oceanlake was the combination of the two small towns of Raymond (originally planned to be a vacation haven for Catholics) and Devil's Lake Park (a resort town dominated by a large prviately owned auto camp). Oceanlake's identity was somewhat clouded when it incorporated. The merger did not include raymond or Devil's Lkae Park in their entirety. Rather, it was the area serviced by Oceanlake Water District."
