Thornberry is a former community in Sherman County, Oregon, United States, founded in 1916.[1] Formerly known as Grebe, Thornberry was named for Harvey B. Thornberry, who became the second postmaster in January 1919.[1] The town post office was officially closed in November 1923.[1] Thornberry is contemporarily considered a ghost town.[2]
