Hadleyville is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is located about two miles southeast of Crow along Territorial Highway, near Coyote Creek.[2][3]
Hadleyville was named for the Hadley family, including Oregon Trail pioneer Henry G. Hadley, who was a member of the 1853 Oregon Territorial Legislature and the first justice of the peace for Lane County. The Hadleys arrived in the Oregon Territory in 1851.[4] Hadley had lived in the Spencer Creek area of Lane County, arriving in what came be known as Hadleyville in 1878.[5]
Hadleyville post office was established in 1890, with Henry Hadley's son Frank Hadley as the first postmaster.[3] After three more postmasters, the office closed in 1903, when mail was handled by the Crow office.[3] The H.G. Hadley House, which once served as the Hadleyville post office, is still standing about three miles south of the modern coordinates for the community.[6] In 1915, the area's agriculture activities included general farming, orchards, timber, dairy cattle, and other livestock.[7] The nearest rail line was in Veneta.[7]
At one time Hadleyville had a school located on Briggs Hill Road, and a church.[3][7][8][9] The church was called the Centralview Church of Christ.[9] The historic McCulloch Cemetery off Briggs Hill Road holds the graves of early Hadleyville residents.[10]
