Hadleyville is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States. [1] It is located about two miles southeast of Crow along Territorial Highway, near Coyote Creek. [2] [3]
Hadleyville was named for the Hadley family, including Oregon Trail pioneer Henry G. Hadley, who was a member of the 1853 Oregon Territorial Legislature and the first justice of the peace for Lane County. The Hadleys arrived in the Oregon Territory in 1851. [4] Hadley had lived in the Spencer Creek area of Lane County, arriving in what came be known as Hadleyville in 1878. [5]
Hadleyville post office was established in 1890, with Henry Hadley's son Frank Hadley as the first postmaster. [3] After three more postmasters, the office closed in 1903, when mail was handled by the Crow office. [3] The H.G. Hadley House, which once served as the Hadleyville post office, is still standing about three miles south of the modern coordinates for the community. [6] In 1915, the area's agriculture activities included general farming, orchards, timber, dairy cattle, and other livestock. [7] The nearest rail line was in Veneta. [7]
At one time Hadleyville had a school located on Briggs Hill Road, and a church. [3] [7] [8] [9] The church was called the Centralview Church of Christ. [9] The historic McCulloch Cemetery off Briggs Hill Road holds the graves of early Hadleyville residents. [10]
