Antelope Oregon
The town of Antelope was the first to
be settled in a valley of the same
name where many antelope grazed. It
became a stopping point for
stagecoaches where passengers could
rest and even stay over night. By
1871, the town had grown to the point
that warranted a post office and one
was opened in August of that year. The
town grew to become a center for
cattlemen and sheepmen and had its
share of shootings common in western
towns during the 1890s. Like many
other small towns during that period,
Antelope was all but destroyed by fire
in 1898. All but one building on the
main street was destroyed but that
building still stands today. The town
was quickly rebuilt. Only a few miles
north Antelope a new town called
Shaniko became the terminus of a
railroad causing the population to
gradually fade.
