Adair Village is a city in Benton County, Oregon, United States. The population was 994 as of the 2020 census.[2]

History

Adair Village was named after the World War II military installation Camp Adair. When the war ended, the camp was closed and most of the buildings were removed, except for the hospital, which in 1946 was leased to Oregon State University for student and faculty housing. The university converted the hospital into apartments, a local government was organized, and the Adair Village post office was established in 1947.

When the postwar enrollment boom dwindled, Oregon State gave up its lease, and the United States Air Force maintained the base as a radar station. Adair Village post office closed in 1951, and Adair Air Force Station post office took its place from 1961 through 1969. The Air Force ceased operations and sold the property, with the individual houses being placed on the market. Adair Village incorporated in 1976. Adair Village city hall is one of the original World War II buildings.[3]
