Hamilton, Oregon
Hamilton is an unincorporated community in Grant County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is located on Oregon Route 402 east of Monument and west of Long Creek.[2] As of 1993, the community had no businesses and only three houses.[3]
The community and nearby Hamilton Mountain were named for John Henry Hamilton, the first settler in the area.[4][5] Hamilton, a cattle rancher, arrived in Grant County sometime in 1874 and lived there until his death in 1909.[4] Local settlers met at Hamilton's ranch to race horses.[4] Hamilton post office was established in 1884 and closed in 1959.[4] Anson C. Frink built the first store and served as the first postmaster.[4]
