History

In 1880, a branch line of the Southern Pacific Railroad was built, (now owned by the Albany & Eastern Railroad) and at its intersection with the Santiam Wagon Road a depot was built. This station was named Crabtree, and a post office was established there on February 28, 1887. In 1890, resident John Meyer built the first store in Crabtree. The first store burned down prior to 1923. In 1909, the Crabtree Christian Church was established, and the building was dedicated on May 29, 1910. In 1913, prominent Crabtree resident William Turnidge built a hardware store on the site of a former cream station which was sold to Sillman Wirt in June 1917. After prohibition, the store became the Crabtree Tavern which was in operation until 2013. In 1919, George Vana built a garage in Crabtree which housed the Crabtree Garage until 1937. The building was later used as a barber shop. In 1923, a new general store was built in Crabtree. It last housed Knight’s General Store from 1949 until it closed in 1975. In 1973, OR-226 was rerouted when a new bridge was built over the South Santiam River and bypassed Crabtree.
