Port Orford (Tolowa: tr’ee-ghi~’- ’an’ [5]) is a city in Curry County on the southern coast of Oregon, United States.

[6] Before the arrival of European settlers, the Port Orford area was inhabited by the indigenous Tututni peoples.

[7] Spanish explorer Bartoleme Ferrelo mapped Cape Blanco in 1543.

It remained the farthest north point on the coastal map until 1778, when British explorer Captain Cook found land farther west.

[9] Captain George Vancouver sighted land and named it Port Orford in 1792.

[12] Port Orford is located on U.S. Route 101 between the Pacific Ocean and the Siskiyou National Forest, 28 miles (45 km) north of Gold Beach and 27 miles (43 km) south of Bandon.

At 124 degrees, 29 minutes, 53 seconds west longitude, it is the westernmost city in the contiguous United States, though in Clallam County, Washington, there are three unincorporated communities that are farther west than Port Orford: Neah Bay, La Push, and Ozette.

[15] It is at the northern end of Oregon's "banana belt", a region with relatively warm weather caused by the Brookings effect.

39% of all households were made up of individuals, and 18.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
