Noti's post office was established in 1913, when the name was changed from "Portola".
The first postmaster was H.G. Suttle.
Suttle wrote that the name Noti was what a Native American once exclaimed in frustration with a white man.
The white man had not tied up a horse as the native wanted him to during a trip up the Siuslaw River valley, but rather continued on riding the horse to Eugene.

In 2002, Noti Grade School, a landmark built in 1927 and known as "The Little Blue School", was closed.
It was formerly located directly on Oregon Route 126, but after a highway realignment project in 1996 the school is now located on a quiet road called the "Noti Loop Road", and the highway passes just north of and behind the school.
