Editing Adair Village, Oregon (section)

==History==
Adair Village was named after the [[World War II]] military installation [[Camp Adair]]. When the war ended, the camp was closed and most of the buildings were removed, except for the hospital, which in 1946 was leased to [[Oregon State University]] for student and faculty housing. The university converted the hospital into apartments, a local government was organized, and the Adair Village post office was established in 1947.

When the postwar enrollment boom dwindled, Oregon State gave up its lease, and the [[United States Air Force]] maintained the base as a [[radar]] station. Adair Village post office closed in 1951, and [[Adair Air Force Station]] post office took its place from 1961 through 1969. The Air Force ceased operations and sold the property, with the individual houses being placed on the market. Adair Village [[municipal corporation|incorporated]] in 1976. Adair Village city hall is one of the original World War II buildings.<ref name="OGN">{{cite book
