Alpine was so named because it is on the top of one of the foothills of the Central Oregon Coast Range.[3] It is noted that the "situation is not particularly alpine in character".[3] Alpine School operated for several years before there was a settlement in the location, thus the community took its name from the school.[3] In 1908, the Corvallis and Alsea River Railway Company began construction of a line that ended in the settlement of Alpine when funding ran out.[3] The community has burned three times since its heyday in the early 1900s.[4] A post office was established in 1912 and operated until 1976.[3] Alpine now has a Monroe mailing address. Alpine Elementary School closed in 2003.[5] When the Alpine Market closed in 2004, the Alpine Tavern (built in 1936) started selling groceries.[5] In 2005, a vintage photograph of the tavern was featured in a Miller Beer advertisement, and the market was due to be razed.[5]
As of November 2019, the Alpine Tavern was still a thriving business in the community, preserving area history.[citation needed]
