}}Rome, also called Rome Station after its sole business, is an unincorporated community in Malheur County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is part of the Ontario, OR–ID Micropolitan Statistical Area. In the sparsely populated high desert of southeastern Oregon, Rome is immediately west of the Owyhee River on U.S. Route 95, approximately {{convert|12|mi|km|0}} northeast of Burns Junction.[2] Jordan Creek enters the river slightly downstream of Rome.[2] The elevation of Rome is {{convert|3390|ft|0}} above sea level.[1]

Name

According to Oregon Geographic Names, Rome was named by William F. Stine for the nearby geologic formations that suggested the ruined temples of Rome, Italy.[3] The {{convert|100|ft|m|adj=on}}-high Rome Cliffs,[4] or "Pillars of Rome" are formations of fossil-bearing clay, measuring about {{convert|5|mi|km|0}} long and {{convert|2|mi|km|0}} wide.[5]

Post offices

Rome's former post office was established in 1909. Leonard R. Duncan was the first postmaster.[3] Postal service is now out of Jordan Valley.

In the mid-19th century, there was another Oregon community named Rome. It was in Marion County, near Woodburn, and had a post office in 1851–52.[3]

Transportation

Rome State Airport is near Rome.[2] In addition to U.S. Route 95, several high-desert roads converge at or near Rome. These include the Old Idaho–Oregon–Nevada Highway, Rome Road, Skull Creek Road, and Indian Fort Creek Road.[2]

Climate

Rome has a steppe climate (BSk) according to the Köppen climate classification system.
