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