George Bennet named the town in remembrance of his Ireland hometown and settled there in 1873 after coming across a location known as "The Ferry." The Coquille Indians inhabited the region before 1850. Then, in 1851, the French Canadian trappers found gold at nearby Whiskey Run Beach, however the gold rush had little effect on the region. When Bennett first arrived in this small portion of the Coos region, he thought it offered excellent potential for economic growth. Because of the nearby timber and the lush vegetation at the time, the region provided rich, suitable soil for agriculture. Bennett brought the Gorse shrub to the newly founded Bandon to give it a flavor of his hometown. However, this action would lead to the town's nearly total devastation 63 years later. A shift in wind direction on September 26, 1936, caused a forest fire that killed ten people and destroyed all but 16 of Bandon's 500 houses. The fire was directed toward the gorse hedges, which were four feet high by that time in some parts. Bandon successfully transformed into the charming beach resort it is today, even though gorse is now subject to rigorous rules.
