Nonpareil

Nonpareil is a historic unincorporated community in Douglas County, Oregon, situated near Calapooya Creek roughly 8 miles east of Sutherlin. It holds a modest place in American literary history as the birthplace of novelist H. L. Davis.

The area recorded a population of around 202 as of 2000, meaning it retains some residential presence rather than being entirely abandoned. Visitors drawn by its ghost town designation will find a quiet rural setting rather than dramatic ruins, and the experience is best suited to those with an interest in regional history and a taste for off-the-beaten-path Oregon.
