When Suplee post office was established in 1894, resident Charles Dorling suggested the name "Suplee," his mother's maiden name.[5] Originally in Grant County, the office was moved 3 miles (4.8 km) west to Crook County in 1902.[3] The post office ran intermittently, closing for good in 1943, with mail to Paulina.[3][5]

As of 1972, author Ralph Friedman said there was nothing left at the old townsite, although there were still a few ranch buildings in the area.[6]

At one time there was a Suplee School (44.0244°N 119.6665°W / 44.0244; -119.6665). Suplee (DeLore) Cemetery is listed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department as a historic cemetery.[7][8]

The area is known for having the oldest sedimentary rocks in the state.[9] The geologic area of the Suplee Formation is often referred to as the Suplee-Izee area.[10]
