[or-roots] Casey State Park

[Leslie Chapman]

Bob;

They were looking for info on the one on the Rogue, best I could come up
with was a James Casey who was a saloon keeper in the 1860 or 70 Census, he
might be the person Evelyn was looking for as the State says the wayside was
named for a guy who ran an inn and tavern while squatting on govt. land
nearby. But I couldn't come up with a sure link, and not a word in the
county histories I have.

Les /c

I don't know about the  "State park" part, but "Casey Oregon was in Clatsop
Co. on the Youngs River about 10 miles south of Astoria. It was named for a
local Family. The Post Ofice was established in August 1903 with Catherine
Quinn Postmaster.  Th post office operated until August 1911 when it was
closed."
The above from the Oregon Geographic Names page 115
There is a Casey Recreation Area near the Rogue River also
