Wendling is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States, located northeast of Marcola.[1] Wendling's post office operated from 1899 to 1952.[2] It was named for George X. Wendling, a local lumberman.[3][4]
A rail line from Coburg, passing through Springfield and Natron, was later extended over Willamette Pass. A branch from Springfield to Wendling was constructed in 1902.[5]
Wendling Bridge, a covered bridge, carries Wendling Road over Mill Creek at Wendling.[6] Built in 1938, the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[7]
