History
A post office called Whittles Ferry was established within the area that is now attributed as Keno on September 22, 1876, with Robert Marple as its very first postmaster. The name thus did not initially derive from the first postmaster, but the Robert Whittle, who operated the ferry.[3]
Postal authorities rejected the initial name, and also the other proposed name for the location, "Klamath River". Another attempt was made, changing the name to "Plevna" on January 9, 1878, and the office was moved northeast where it would however cease to be used after it closed on March 1892.[3][4]
The local patrons, were furious, and thus created a new post office,[3] named "Keno post office" which established in 1887.[3][4] Keno was supposedly named after the first postmaster's bird dog.[4]
