History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

According to Oregon Geographic Names, Dairy was named by William Roberts, a pioneer settler, who chose the name after having lived in another community by that name in the eastern United States. Roberts was the first postmaster of the Dairy post office, established in 1876.

Dairy lies in a valley formerly called Alkali Valley but later renamed Yonna Valley, its Klamath name.[1] In 2004, the Klamath County Commissioners changed the name of Squaw Flat Road, which lies in the Yonna Valley slightly east of Dairy,[2] to Bliss Road.[3] Bliss Road runs generally north–south between Oregon Route 140 and the community of Sprague River.

Dairy had a station on the Oregon, California and Eastern Railway, which by 1927 reached from Klamath Falls to Bly.[4] A 1941 timetable lists Hildebrand as the seventh stop east of Klamath Falls between Moyina and Hildebrand. After 1990, the rail line passing near Dairy became part of a rail trail, the OC&E Woods Line State Trail, managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
