History


The Buxton area was settled by Henry T. Buxton in 1884, and the town was named for his family, including his father, also named Henry Buxton, a pioneer of 1841.[1] A post office was established on December 27, 1886, with Henry T. Buxton as the first postmaster.[1] Buxton was also the name of a station on the Portland, Astoria & Pacific Railroad above Mendenhall Creek east of the community.[1] A new school building was completed about 1938.[2] In 1954, the community joined with neighboring Manning and Banks to form the Tri-City Rural Fire Protection District (now Banks Fire District).[3] The post office continued until at least 1976 and had a zip code of 97109.[4] The Buxton School, part of the Banks School District, closed in 1998[2] with the building sold in 2000 to the Banks Christian Academy.[5] Banks Christian Academy closed the Buxton school in June 2015, with the school then being taken over by Faith Bible Christian School.[5]
