Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox settlement Andrews is a ghost town in Harney County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is located south of Steens Mountain and near the Alvord Desert.
History
The community was named for Peter Andrews, who settled in the area about 1880.[2] A post office was established on Andrews' property in 1890.[2] The post office was moved north a short distance in 1900 and called "Wildhorse" or "Wild Horse".[2] Locals referred to it as "Wild Hog", however, so the postmaster changed the name to honor his friend Andrews.[2]
At its peak the community had about 150 residents. However, the population of Andrews slowly declined until only one house remained. When it burned down in 1996, the community became a ghost town.[2][3]
In 2011, artist John Simpkins moved into the abandoned school at Andrews. He set up residence in the teacher's cottage and turned the schoolhouse into his studio. He spent nearly a decade living and working at the school until 2020 when the property owner ordered him to vacate the buildings.[4][5]
Climate
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Andrews has a semi-arid climate, abbreviated "BSk" on climate maps.[6]
