Vida [pronounced VEYE-duh] has a population of 867 [2] and is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is located on Oregon Route 126 and the McKenzie River.[3]
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.[3] The Vida post office was established on April 12, 1898.[3] The postmaster was Francis A. Pepiot.[3]
Vida is home to the historic Goodpasture Bridge, a covered bridge that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[4] It is the second-longest covered bridge in Oregon.[5]
