Frenchglen is an unincorporated community in Harney County, Oregon, United States. It is 60 miles (97 km) south of Burns on Oregon Route 205 and its population is approximately 12.

Frenchglen is near Steens Mountain and Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, and is home to the historic Frenchglen Hotel, an Oregon State Heritage Site built in 1917.[1] In addition to the hotel, which includes a restaurant, the town has a K-8 school divided into two classes, a general store and a county roads department base. The area is known as a haven for birdwatching.

History

The community is named after the French-Glenn Livestock Company, founded by Hugh J. Glenn and later joined by his son-in-law, Peter French. French-Glenn built its headquarters there in 1872.[citation needed]

Education

The zoned K-8 school is Frenchglen Elementary School (of Frenchglen School District 16).[2][3] In the 1980-1981 school year there were two students, until one moved away, meaning that towards the end of the school year the school had one student.[4]

High school students are zoned to Crane Union High School,[5] of Harney County Union High School District 1J.[6]

Harney County is not in a community college district but has a "contract out of district" (COD) with Treasure Valley Community College.[7] TVCC operates the Burns Outreach Center in Burns.[8]
