It is near the Salmon River.Otis post office was established in 1900 and was named after Otis Thompson, nephew of Archibald S. Thompson, the postmaster.U.S. Route 101 used to pass through Otis until a curvy and hilly section of road was rerouted in the 1960s.

The Otis ZIP code, 97368, also covers the community of Rose Lodge. Today Otis and Otis Junction are considered synonymous.Otis made the national headlines in 1999 and again in 2004, when it was announced that the town was for sale for $3 million. The news stories describe the Otis Café and other amenities that are at Otis Junction; it is unclear if the 193 acres (0.78 km2) that were for sale included the land in Otis proper. Owner Vivian Lematta's grandfather bought the land from descendants of the Siletz Indians for $800 in 1910. Lematta left Otis in 1957. Included in the sale were the gas station and mini grocery store, a Pronto Pup corn dog stand, two houses, an empty 25-stall horse barn, a helicopter storage shed, a garage, a Grange hall, the Otis post office, the Otis Café, an auto-repair garage and 190 acres (0.77 km2) of farmland.

Otis is an unincorporated area community located in the northernmost portion of Lincoln County, Oregon County, Oregon, United States on Oregon Route 18. Only three acres (12,000 m²) is zoning for commercial development; the rest is restricted to timber or agricultural use and is currently used for grazing of horses and/or cattle. Lematta has put the land up for sale twice, once in 1999 when the Today (NBC program) Show considered featuring it in an episode, and then again in 2004.
