The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Named for railroad official W. H. Starbuck, the town was originally a junction on the main line of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company. The town was platted in 1894, and built its first bank ten years later. In 1886, the railroad completed a line eastward from Starbuck to Pomeroy and Pataha City in Garfield County; the line remained in operation until 1981. The town was officially incorporated on September 18, 1905. In 1910, a large brick school was built.
