In 1917, when a petition was sent to the United States Post Office Department for a post office at this locale, it was approved with the name "Linslaw".[3][4] Locals could not explain the source of the name, but the author of Oregon Geographic Names has a theory that the name was supposed to be "Siuslaw", and the handwriting on the petition was unclear and misread as "Linslaw".[3] Linslaw post office was closed in 1957.[3][5] The Coos Bay Line of the Southern Pacific Railroad had a station here.[3] Today this line is owned by the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad.
