Lincoln City, Oregon, is commemorating its 60th anniversary in 2025, marking six decades since its incorporation on March 3, 1965. The city was formed by uniting the communities of Oceanlake, Delake, Nelscott, Taft, and Cutler City, along with several unincorporated areas. The name “Lincoln City” was chosen through a contest among local schoolchildren, aiming to represent the unified community without favoring any single area.
