Name origins of Coyote Creek near Eugene questioned
A reader asks how Coyote Creek ten miles west of Eugene got its name. The tale points to coyotes seen when Applegate road work began in 1858, with a couple later linked to the place. Several local items follow including council discussions on water bonds, a reform school commitment, a runaway fire alarm, business moves, and community notices from Albany to Cottage Grove. The column preserves fragmented local news and ongoing civic matters.
