Friend is an unincorporated community in Wasco County in the U.S. state of Oregon. Considered a ghost town, little remains of the community except the Friend Store, a one-room schoolhouse, and a cemetery.[1][2]
Friend was named after George J. Friend.[3] The first post office in the community, established in 1903, was on his homestead.[3]
Friend was the end of the line on the Great Southern Railroad. The line was built in 1908 from Dufur, which connected to The Dalles.[4] The depot was closed and service ended on January 5, 1928; the line was abandoned in 1935. Few signs of the track still exist.[5]
