Greenhorn, the Highest and Smallest City in Oregon

 

Greenhorn is seven miles off the paved road down a forest access road.  It holds the designation as the highest and smallest incorporated city in Oregon.  The last two US censuses found exactly zero people in the city.  The state of Oregon pegs it at two people.  There are enough people around that a Baker County Commissioner was going to hold a town hall a few days after we were there.

 There are about seven or ten houses and shacks in town.  The town used to have about 2000 people.

 

 

 

 There is even some property for sale!

 Around the year 2000, the town got telephone service.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 There is a construction business that operates out of Greenhorn.
