Condon, Oregon

Gilliam County

The City of Condon was incorporated in 1893.

Condon is the county seat of Gilliam County, and has an elevation of 2844 feet. It is an important trading center on SH-19, and is also the southern terminus of the Condon branch of the Union Pacific Railroad. About 1883 a man named Potter owned a homestead just north of Thirtymile Creek, upon which there was a fine spring. He platted the land around the spring, but became involved in financial difficulties, and the land became the property of Condon and Cornish of Arlington. Condon and Cornish sold lots in the townsite, and in 1884 David B. Trimble took the necessary steps to secure a post office, and was appointed the first postmaster. Trimble suggested the name Condon, which was adopted by the department. The office was established July 10, 1884. Harvey C. Condon, for whom the place was named, was a practicing lawyer and located in Arlington, or as it was then known, Alkali, about 1882, and was a member of the firm of Condon and Cornish. He was the son of Judge J.B. Condon, a pioneer jurist of eastern Oregon, and the nephew of Dr. Thomas Condon, Oregon's great geologist. H.C. Condon lived in the state of Washington during the latter part of his life, and died at Vaughn, Washington, June 21, 1931. After World War II, it was the location of two U.S. Air Force stations. -- Source: Oregon Geographic Names, Sixth Edition, 1992, Lewis L.
