It is located in the Blue Mountains about {{convert|23|mi|km}} south of Canyon City, on U.S. Route 395, on the edge of the Malheur National Forest.[3] The population was 199 at the 2010 census. HistorySeneca post office was established in 1895 and named by postmaster Minnie Southworth for her brother-in-law, prominent Portland judge Seneca Smith.[4][8] While early homesteaders moved into the valley in the late 1800s, Seneca only began growing in the 1929 when it became the northern terminus of the now-vacated Oregon and Northwestern Railroad, owned by the Edward Hines Lumber Company, which extended south to Burns.[5] At that time, large-scale shipping of Ponderosa Pine logs from Seneca and the surrounding national forest began to the Hines sawmill in Hines.[5] The company established a planing mill and railroad shops in Seneca, and it became essentially a company town.[5] In 1940 Seneca's population was 275.[6] Logging in the area began to decline in the 1970s, and the Hines company ceased operations of its lumber mills and railroad in 1984.[5] The town was incorporated as a city in 1970 as lumber company control began to wane.[5] According to the 1980 census, Seneca's population was 285.[5] The estimated population in 2007 was 270.[5] GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|0.80|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all land.[7] Situated at the confluence of Bear Creek and the Silvies River, Seneca is in Bear Valley at the northern edge of the Great Basin.[3] ClimateSeneca has a semi-arid influenced subarctic climate (Köppen climate classification Dsc) with warm daytime temperatures in summer and cool to cold nighttime temperatures all year. Average high temperatures throughout the year are relatively mild for a subarctic climate. It is right on the border of the regular semi-arid continental climate with the fourth warmest month of the year straddling {{convert|50|F|C}}. Seneca experiences the coolest weather in Grant County and has the distinction of the coldest official temperature recorded in Oregon: {{convert|-54|F|C}} in 1933.[5] {{Weather box|location = Seneca |single line = Y |temperature colour= |Jan record high F = 58 |Feb record high F = 64 |Mar record high F = 74 |Apr record high F = 83 |May record high F = 89 |Jun record high F = 104 |Jul record high F = 104 |Aug record high F = 100 |Sep record high F = 96 |Oct record high F = 90 |Nov record high F = 72 |Dec record high F = 63 |year record high F= 104 |Jan high F = 34.5 |Feb high F = 39.2 |Mar high F = 45.3 |Apr high F = 53.4 |May high F = 61.6 |Jun high F = 70.8 |Jul high F = 81.8 |Aug high F = 80.6 |Sep high F = 72.2 |Oct high F = 60.4 |Nov high F = 45.4 |Dec high F = 36.4 |year high F= |Jan mean F = 21.8 |Feb mean F = 25.8 |Mar mean F = 32.2 |Apr mean F = 39.7 |May mean F = 46.6 |Jun mean F = 53.3 |Jul mean F = 59.8 |Aug mean F = 57.7 |Sep mean F = 49.8 |Oct mean F = 41.2 |Nov mean F = 31.5 |Dec mean F = 24.1 |Jan low F = 9.2 |Feb low F = 12.4 |Mar low F = 19.0 |Apr low F = 25.9 |May low F = 31.5 |Jun low F = 35.9 |Jul low F = 37.8 |Aug low F = 34.9 |Sep low F = 27.5 |Oct low F = 21.9 |Nov low F = 17.8 |Dec low F = 11.7 |year low F= |Jan record low F = −43 |Feb record low F = −54 |Mar record low F = −26 |Apr record low F = 2 |May record low F = 6 |Jun record low F = 16 |Jul record low F = 19 |Aug record low F = 13 |Sep record low F = 1 |Oct record low F = −11 |Nov record low F = −31 |Dec record low F = −48 |year record low F= −54 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation inch = 1.46 |Feb precipitation inch = 1.07 |Mar precipitation inch = 1.20 |Apr precipitation inch = 1.05 |May precipitation inch = 1.47 |Jun precipitation inch = 1.08 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.52 |Aug precipitation inch = 0.67 |Sep precipitation inch = 0.64 |Oct precipitation inch = 0.89 |Nov precipitation inch = 1.40 |Dec precipitation inch = 1.67 |year precipitation inch= 13.11 |Jan snow inch = 14.8 |Feb snow inch = 10.2 |Mar snow inch = 7.2 |Apr snow inch = 2.4 |May snow inch = 0.7 |Jun snow inch = 0.0 |Jul snow inch = 0.0 |Aug snow inch = 0.0 |Sep snow inch = 0.0 |Oct snow inch = 1.1 |Nov snow inch = 6.4 |Dec snow inch = 15.0 |year snow inch= 57.8 |Jan precipitation days = 11 |Feb precipitation days = 9 |Mar precipitation days = 9 |Apr precipitation days = 8 |May precipitation days = 8 |Jun precipitation days = 7 |Jul precipitation days = 3 |Aug precipitation days = 3 |Sep precipitation days = 4 |Oct precipitation days = 6 |Nov precipitation days = 10 |Dec precipitation days = 12 |unit precipitation days = 0.01 in |source 1 = WRCC,[8] Weatherbase [9] |date=February 2012 }} Demographics{{US Census population|1980= 285 |1990= 191 |2000= 223 |2010= 199 |estyear=2016 |estimate=192 |estref=[10] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[11] }} 2010 censusAs of the census of 2010, there were 199 people, 95 households, and 60 families residing in the city.
