Shore Acres History

Platted the overlook section with streets named after states. Developer Nathaniel J. Upham began to sell tracts of land in the 1950s. The first large-scale development was 350 homes around Butterfly Lake followed by Waterfront Estates, Venetian Isles, and Ponderosa Shores.
Shore Acres was initially built as an estate in 1910 for Louis J. Simpson, a Coos County timber baron and son of shipping magnate Asa Meade Simpson. After a 1921 fire and financial losses devastated his estate holdings, Simpson sold the land to the State of Oregon for use as a park in 1942.
