Thanks for the feature, Oregon Encyclopedia!

The town of Haines was incorporated on March 11, 1902. In the early 1900s, the booming economy of Haines earned it the title of the Biggest Little Town in Oregon. Located about twelve miles northwest of Baker City, Haines first became a mining center, and the 1870 county census listed a sizable Chinese population.

The town entered the public eye in the late twentieth century in a United Press International article on March 10, 1980. Mayor Dick Camp is quoted saying, “We’ve got whiskey in our water and gold in our streets…there could be no better place to live.” The endorsement refers to the Rock Creek whiskey still that was allegedly hooked to the city’s water supply, causing a clash with the Environmental Protection Agency, and to a small amount of gold that was found during road construction. The water was rumored to have “a slight bourbon taste.”
