History

The location was originally named "Foster" for John R. Foster, of Portland, who was an associate of Allen & Lewis.[6] The firm had interests in the Umatilla area and purchased 4,000 acres northeast of Echo.[6] They established a large ranch there and a store and small community followed; they were all named for Foster.[6] In 1882, the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company siding and stop was named "Fosters".[6] A post office with the name of Foster was established in 1883; the name was changed to Stanfield in 1909 for Robert N. Stanfield Jr., who later became a U.S. senator from Oregon.[6] Recently, some hutterites from the Ritzville colony in Washington have purchased roughly 8,800 acres of farmland near Stanfield. They presently belong to the Dariusleut sect.

gollark: Hmm, I should set it to *not* use zero but instead, say, 4?
gollark: This may be one of the highest-performance `malloc` implementations available.
gollark: ```c#include <stdint.h>#include <stddef.h>static uintptr_t MEMPOS = 1;void* malloc(size_t size) { uintptr_t bees = MEMPOS; MEMPOS += size; return (void*)bees;}void free(void* ptr) { *(char**)ptr = "hello please do not use this address";}```
gollark: I prefer my malloc implementation.
