Shaniko, Oregon

Wasco County · Population 30 · Card no. 1923

A near-ghost town that was once the largest wool shipping point in the world.

At its peak around 1903, millions of pounds of wool moved through the rail terminus here.
The rail line was abandoned and the town emptied.
The 1900 hotel and schoolhouse still stand.
