History & geography

History

Alpine was so named because it is on the top of one of the foothills of the Central Oregon Coast Range. It is noted that the "situation is not particularly alpine in character". A post office was established in 1912 and operated until 1976. When the Alpine Market closed in 2004, the Alpine Tavern (built in 1936) started selling groceries. In 2005, a vintage photograph of the tavern was featured in a Miller Beer advertisement, and the market was due to be razed. As of December 2023, the Alpine Tavern was still a thriving business and community hub, preserving area history. The town is often visited by passersby on their way to either Alsea Falls or the Oregon Coast.
