Gravelford, Oregon
# Gravelford, Oregon

Gravelford is an unincorporated community in Coos County, Oregon, United States. It is about 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Myrtle Point, at the confluence of the North Fork Coquille River and the East Fork Coquille River.

The name of the community came from a natural ford in the stream. A post office with the name Gravel Ford was established in 1878 with Solomon J. McCloskey the first postmaster. Post office records always used the two-word spelling, but post office route maps and USGS topographical maps use the one-word spelling. The office closed in 1934, with mail going to Myrtle Point.

In 1915, Gravelford had two cheese factories, two churches, an Adventist academy, and a public school. As of 1990, only two houses remained of the town. Gravelford's volunteer fire department is a satellite station of Myrtle Point. Gravelford Cemetery was founded in 1884.
