There were several logging camps near Olney, many originally only accessible by boat up the Youngs River or by Albert S. Kerry's Columbia and Nehalem River Railroad.[4] In 1910, the Western Cooperage Company camp was established in Olney.[4] It was run by the Tidewater Timber Company from 1923 to 1943.[4] Western Cooperage provided company housing for its workers and in 1915 the population was 50, which was near its maximum.[3][4] Olney post office was established in 1875 and ran until 1950.[2] Today, Olney still has a general store.[3]
