Keasey is a former settlement in Columbia County, Oregon, United States.[1] It was named after settler Eden W. Keasey, who was also first postmaster of the post office, which operated from August 5, 1890, to 1955. There are no remains of the original community due to the destruction of the Portland, Astoria & Pacific Railroad.[2][clarification needed]
