Denmark is an unincorporated community in Curry County, Oregon, United States, between Bandon and Port Orford where U.S. Route 101 crosses Willow Creek.[1]
Denmark was founded by first generation Danes who developed a profitable dairy industry in the area.[2][3] Denmark post office was established in 1882.[4] In 1915 the community had a sawmill, a cheese factory, a creamery, and a public school.[2] In 1940 Denmark had a population of 96.[5] Improvements to U.S. 101 bypassed the business district and the community went into decline.[3] The post office closed in 1960.[4] By the 1990s, the only business in Denmark was a store/gas station.[2][3] In 2009 there was a drive-through espresso stand at the same location.[6]
Denmark was the focus of a 2009 series of articles on Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) about climate change that coincided with the Copenhagen Summit in the country of Denmark.[6]
