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
town site 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
