Salisbury is an unincorporated historic community[1] in Baker County, Oregon, United States. It lies along the Powder River at the junction of Oregon Route 7 and Oregon Route 245 about 10miles southwest of Baker City. The elevation is 3655feet.[1]
The place was once named "Bennett", probably after a local resident.[2] Salisbury post office, established in 1906 and closed in 1907, was named after Hiram H. Salisbury, a superintendent for the W. H. Eccles Lumber Company.[2] Salisbury was also a station on the Sumpter Valley Railway.[3] In 1940, Salisbury had a population of 4.[4] As of 1980, "there was little evidence of commercial activity".[2]
