Carpenterville is an unincorporated community in Curry County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is located on the former alignment of U.S. Route 101 known as the Roosevelt Highway (now Oregon Route 255 or the Carpenterville Highway), about 16 miles north of Brookings.[2][3] Carpenterville was the highest point on the former main coastal highway and the area is known for its views.[3][4][5]
D. W. Carpenter and his family settled in the area in 1921. The family ran a sawmill that produced lumber for fences.[2] Carpenterville post office was established in 1932 and named for the Carpenter family.[2] In 1940, Carpenterville's population was 35.[4] The post office closed in 1944.[2] When Carpenterville was still on the main route of the Coast Highway, there was a public school, a store, tourist cabins, and a lodge, the Skyline Lodge and Restaurant.[3][5] The realignment of the highway cut the community off from the main coastal road and the lodge was later torn down.[3] By 1990, there was only one house to mark the location of the community, however the USGS still classifies Carpenterville as a populated place.[5]
