History

North Powder was platted in 1885 or 1886 along the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company rail line, having been a stage stop before then.

David Eccles, a Mormon businessman, created the Hall Brothers Lumber Company in the town once the railway arrived.

North Powder prospered because it had an icehouse that supplied the refrigerator cars of Pacific Fruit Express until the icehouse burned down in the 1930s.
