Tallman, Oregon

Tallman is a ghost town in Linn County, in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] It is located northwest of Lebanon.[2]

History

A post office was established at Tallman in 1886, and remained in operation until 1923.[3] The community's name honored James Tallman, a pioneer settler.[4] Tallman was a station on the Red Electric interurban railroad. A previous Oregonian Railway station at this location was named Lebanon Junction.[5] Tallman was near the junction of the Southern Pacific's East Side and Lebanon Branches.[6] Today the East Side Line has been abandoned and the Lebanon Branch is owned by the Albany and Eastern Railroad.[7]
