Hallett had built the first Script error: No such module "convert". of the line and supervised the construction of the rest of the line to Roseburg.[2] In 1876, the name of the station was changed to Irving, probably for William Irving, who was a settler in the area.[2] "Irvine" post office was established in January of the same year, and the name corrected to Irving in October; the post office ran until 1919.[2]

Irving Christian Church (now known as the Sonrise Christian Church) was moved from the Clear Lake area, two miles east of Fern Ridge Reservoir, in 1899.[3] Irving Elementary School is served by the Bethel School District.
