The town received its name when the Southern Pacific Railroad reached there.[6] Crabtree Creek and Crabtree Lake in Linn County were named for pioneer John J. Crabtree, a native of Virginia, who arrived in the Oregon Country in 1845.[6] He wintered in the Tualatin Plains, then bought the William Packwood Donation Land Claim east of the forks of the Santiam River in the spring in 1846.[6] The station and community were named for John Crabtree's cousin Fletcher Crabtree.[6]
There is a fire station[7] and a Christian church.[8] The Crabtree Tavern closed in 2013.[9]
