Cloverdale is an unincorporated community in Deschutes County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is located about five miles east of Sisters, on Oregon Route 126.[2]
In the late 19th century, Cloverdale became important stop on the A. J. Warrin Road, an alternative route to the Santiam Wagon Road on the way to Prineville.[3][4] The community provided services for travelers and local homesteaders, with a store, blacksmith shop, and facilities for camping and boarding horses.[3] By the 1920s or 1930s, the route fell into disuse and the buildings either fell down, were torn down, or moved.[3]
Cloverdale was named by R. A. Ford, a local farmer who was also a teacher and a county school superintendent.[5] He surveyed the nearby Cloverdale Ditch, which is parallel to Whychus Creek.[5] The ditch is used for irrigation. Crops grown in the area include clover, alfalfa, potatoes, grasses and vegetables.[3]
The one-room Old Cloverdale School was built on George Cyrus' land circa 1900 on what today is known as George Cyrus Road (aka Cloverdale Market Road).[6] Also known as the Cyrus School, it is listed as a historic resource by Deschutes County.[7][8] A new school was built in 1919.[3] The 1919 school shares a site with the Cloverdale Rural Fire Protection District station and as of 2011 was in use as a preschool.[3][9][10]
