==History==
Alsea was named for the Alsea River, whose name was a corruption of "Alsi" (also spelled "Ulseah" and "Alsiias") the name of a [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] tribe, now known as the [[Alsea (tribe)|Alsea]], that lived at the mouth of the river. The Alsea area was settled by [[European-American|Europeans]] early as 1855, when the name "Alseya Settlement" appeared on the [[Surveyor General of the United States|Surveyor General's]] map. Alsea post office was established in 1871.<ref name="OGN">{{cite book | last = McArthur | first = Lewis A. | author-link = Lewis A. McArthur |author2=Lewis L. McArthur |author2-link=Lewis L.
