community developed, and when the Oregon Short Line Railroad Company began to build from Ontario into the Harney Valley, Denman named his place for Edward H. Harriman, the railroad magnate.
HARRIMAN, Klamath County. Effective October 1, 1947, the name of the post office Rocky Point on the west shore of Upper Klamath Lake was changed to Harriman in compliment to the memory of Edward H. Harriman, the railroad man. For several years Mr. Harriman maintained a summer camp near this place and he was very much interested in the development of that part of Oregon. The post office at Rocky Point has had several names. It has been called Lawrentz, Recreation, Pelican Bay and Rocky Point and now it is Harriman. The Harriman lodge was in this same locality but the compiler does not know if the various post offices and the lodge were in the same spot. Harris, Benton County. Harris is the name of the station served by Elam post office, not far from Philomath. The place has been a community since about 1890, and bears the name of a pioneer land owner. When the present post office was petitioned for, residents asked that it be named Harris but postal authorities were afraid of confusion with Harrisburg, Linn County, For additional information see under ELAM.
HARRISBURG, Linn County. Harrisburg was incorporated in 1866. Presumably it was named for Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Some persons say the name was proposed by Hiram Smith, pioneer of 1853; others, by Asa A. McCully, pioneer of 1852. The locality was called Prairie Precinct in 1852. In that year D. and A. A. McCully started a store there. W. A. Forgey surveyed the site in 1853. At that time the place was named Thurston, and soon afterwards, Harrisburg, Thurston post office was established on December 31, 1853, with Gamaliel Parish postmaster. Harrisburgh post office was established in November, 1855. The records do not show clearly when the name was changed to Harrisburg. Hart MOUNTAIN, Lake County. Hart Mountain is a prominent landmark on the east side of Warner Valley. It has an elevation according to the USC&GS of 8020 feet. Its western face is abrupt and impressive and the bold escarpment stands over 3,000 feet above the floor of Warner Valley. Near the foot of Hart Mountain is Hart Lake. Hart Mountain was at one time known as Warner Mountain. Wilson and Alexander established a ranch near the foot of the mountain and used a heart as a cattle brand. The vaqueros were not noted scholars and the ranch was immediately known as the Hart Ranch and has been so known ever since and Hart Mountain and Hart Lake derived their name from this source. It is not likely that the spelling will ever be changed, as the incorrect form is universally used.
HARTSHORN BUTTE, Wallowa County. Hartshorn Butte is in sections 17 and 18, township 1 north, range 48 east. It was named for L. C. Hartshorn who ranged stock there in the '90s.
