Venator is an unincorporated community in Harney County, Oregon, United States. [1] It is on Crane–Venator Road about 17 miles (27 km) southeast of Crane, near the South Fork Malheur River. [2]
Alphena Venator, a native of Linn County, settled in Harney County as a youth in 1872. [3] [4] Alphena's father Jezreel is the namesake for Venator Canyon in Harney and Malheur counties. [3] [4] When Alphena established a livestock ranch in the area in 1884, the locale soon became known as "Venator". [3] Venator post office was established in 1895, with Louella Venator as the first postmaster. [3] The office was later moved two and a half miles north to a station on the now-abandoned Oregon Eastern Branch (or Burns Branch) of the Union Pacific railroad. [3] [5] As of 1976, there were only six buildings and a corral at the site, although at one time there was a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp in the area.
Venator is in Harney County School District 4 (Crane School, grades K-8) and Harney County Union High School District 1J ( Crane Union High School). [6] [7]
