Rice was named for Horace Rice (1829-1915), an Oregon Trail pioneer who settled on upper Fifteenmile Creek in the 1860s and who planted the first crop of wheat in upland Wasco County.[3][4] When the Great Southern Railroad established a line into the area in 1905, Rice's name was given to the station near the confluence of Fifteenmile Creek and Dry Creek.[2][4][5] At one time Rice had a 50,000-bushel farmers' grain elevator run by the Rice-Union Elevator Company.[6][7] According to the author of Oregon Geographic Names, however, as of 1980 "there was little evidence of urban activity."
The historic[8] Rice Cemetery is the burial place for several members of the Rice family.[9][10]
