Vida, Oregon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vida is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States. It is located on Oregon State Route 126 and the McKenzie River.
According to Oregon Geographic Names, Vida was originally named "Gate Creek", but this caused confusion with a community of "Gates Creek" in Washington County, so the name of the postmaster's daughter was selected instead. The Vida post office was established in 1898.
Vida is home to the historic Goodpasture Bridge, a covered bridge that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. [1] It is the second longest covered bridge in Oregon. [2]
