City of Haines Oregon
founded 1885
Early History of Haines, Oregon
Israel David Haines owned 1,200 acres of farmland in the immediate vicinity of what is now Haines, Oregon. In 1884, after completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, Haines platted out a portion of his property for a townsite and the Oregon Navigation & Railroad Company constructed a small loading platform and railroad depot building.
A thriving town grew around this railhead and became a major supplier of mining, timber, and agriculture products for the Portland markets. The town of Haines soon became known as The Biggest Little City in Oregon.
