Plainview became an early homestead center near Sisters
The area attracted early settlers who diverted water from local streams for irrigation
Plainview is located just southeast of Sisters and northwest of Tumalo. It is a somewhat level plain covered with sagebrush and juniper. It attracted early settlers who hoped to divert water from local streams for irrigation purposes.
Four early farmers Tim Post, George McAllister, Charles Gist and I. M. Phillips constructed the first irrigation ditch, which was known as Three Creek Ditch, and it channeled water for their crops. More settlers soon arrived, and a need for a post office and school became apparent. The first post office was established in the home of Charles Gist on Feb. 14, 1907, and it was known as Gist.
The Rainsville City Council is tackling beautification with plans to demolish unsafe buildings.
