WHEREAS, the official sixth edition of Oregon Geographic Names by
Lewis A. McArthur, the authority on Oregon Geographic Names printed by
the Oregon Historical Society, lists the spelling as La Pine and
describes this conclusion as "uncontested;" and
WHEREAS, the official Plat of La Pine, Crook County, Oregon,
approved May 4, 1910, has La Pine as the proper spelling; and
WHEREAS, the United States Postal Service (then the Post Office
Department) and the La Pine Post Office changed the spelling in 1951
from Lapine to La Pine and has used this spelling ever since; and
WHEREAS, the names Rosland, Lapine, and La Pine were all official
names for La Pine at one time or another, but LaPine does not appear in
any geographic names or historical record; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES
COUNTY, OREGON, as follows:
Section 1. That the proper spelling for the rural, unincorporated
community in southern Deschutes County near the borders with Klamath
