}}Crane is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Harney County, Oregon, United States, northeast of Malheur Lake on Oregon Route 78. Its population was 129 at the 2010 census.[2]

History

Crane was named for the prominent local features Crane Creek and Crane Creek Gap.[3] Crane Creek Gap is the pass between the Harney Basin and the drainage basin of the South Fork Malheur River.[3] Crane Creek is probably named for the sandhill crane, which was once abundant in eastern Oregon.[3] Crane post office was established in 1895 and discontinued in 1903.[3] When the Union Pacific Railroad[4] was completed from Ontario, Oregon, in 1916, the post office was reopened.[3]

Until the railroad was finished to Burns in 1924, Crane was an important livestock shipping point,[3] and the town was thriving with its five restaurants, four hotels, three garages, two general merchandise stores, a warehouse, a lumber yard, livery stables, a dance hall, a newspaper, a bank and a movie theater.[4] After a series of fires, the latest in 1938, however, the town never returned to its former prosperity.[4] As of 2011, the businesses in Crane included a post office, a gas station, which is combined with a café and tavern, a farm supply store, and a local realtor.[4]

Geography

Crane is in eastern Harney County along Oregon Route 78 (Steens Highway), which leads northwest {{convert|29|mi}} to Burns, the county seat, and southeast {{convert|64|mi}} to U.S. Route 95 at Burns Junction.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Crane CDP has an area of {{convert|27.0|sqkm|order=flip}}, all of it land. It is {{convert|6|mi|0}} northeast of Malheur Lake and {{convert|26|mi}} by road northeast of the main entrance to Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Education
