Carson is an unincorporated community in Baker County, in the U.S. state of Oregon,[1] along Oregon Route 413 about 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Halfway. In 1870 Tom Corson settled in the area on a tributary of Pine Creek.[2] His neighbors pronounced his name "Carson" and named the tributary and a sawmill on the creek after him.[2] When the post office was established in 1893, it was named "Carson" as well.[2] The town was platted in 1900, the first in Pine Valley.[3] The platted area was small even by northeastern standards: 12 blocks.[3] Carson lost out as a rural service center to the nearby Langrell.[3]
In 1940 Carson had a population of 90.[4] The post office closed in 1952.[2]
