Crabtree, a native of Virginia, who arrived in the Oregon Country in 1845.[2] 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.[2] The station and community were named for John Crabtree's cousin Fletcher Crabtree.[2]
