EspañolANDREWS, OREGON
'Andrews' is an unincorporated community in Harney County, Oregon, United States. It is located south of Steens Mountain and near the Alvord Desert. Andrews is considered a ghost town.
According to ''Oregon Geographic Names'', the community was named for Peter Andrews, who settled in the area about 1880. A post office was established on Andrews' property in 1890. The post office was moved north a short distance in 1900 and called "Wildhorse" or "Wild Horse". Locals referred to it as "Wild Hog", however, so the postmaster changed the name to honor his friend Andrews.
The population of Andrews slowly declined until there was one house, which burned down in 1996, effectively making the community a ghost town.
