'''Island City''' is a city in [[Union County, Oregon]], United States. Its name originated from the city's location on an island between the [[Grande Ronde River]] and a nearby [[Slough (hydrology)|slough]]. However, the slough was later diverted, removing the city's island status. The population was 989 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]].
