Harney County

With a population of around 416 people, Haines is a charming and quiet town that was first platted in 1885 at the site of an old stage stop. Israel David Haines owned 1,200 acres of farmland and plotted out some of his property for the original town site where the Oregon Navigation & Railroad Company then built a loading platform and railroad depot. A railroad town, Haines gained the nickname as The Biggest Little City in Oregon for the important role it played in supplying mining, timber and agricultural products for the Portland market. Today, visitors can view a restored 19th-century cabin at Haines city park to enjoy some of the local history.
