Ben Weathers, postmaster of Enterprise in 1925, informed the writer that the community was named in 1887. A meeting was held in a tent owned by a mercantile company, and several names were suggested, including Bennett Flat, Wallowa City, Franklin, and Fairfield. Finally, R. F. Stubblefield suggested Enterprise, and that name was selected by a majority vote. The post office was established November 9, 1887, with Catherine Akin first postmaster.
