Malheur City is a ghost town in Malheur County, Oregon, United States, situated along Willow Creek.[2] The town was established in 1863 after miners struck gold in the nearby El Dorado mine.[2] Originally located in Baker County, Malheur City became part of Malheur County after the county's formation in 1887.[2] The town became unpopulated around 1911 after mining operations slowed in the area.[2] On August 16, 1957, a brushfire burned all of the town's remaining wooden structures, leaving only stone foundations.[2]
