Lincoln is an unincorporated community in Jackson County, Oregon, United States.[1] It lies along Oregon Route 66 (Greens Springs Highway) between Ashland and Klamath Falls in the Siskiyou Mountains near Pinehurst.[2] It is within the boundaries of the Cascade–Siskiyou National Monument.[2]
Oregon Geographic Names, citing an article in the Medford Mail-Tribune of September 29, 1929, says that Lincoln was named for Lincoln, New Hampshire, by a family whose surname was Henry. The family, formerly operating in New England, owned a lumber mill in Lincoln.[3]
