Gilchrist ( IPA : [' l kr st] ) is an unincorporated community in Klamath County, Oregon, United States on U.S. Route 97 between Bend and Klamath Falls. Gilchrist was the last lumber company town in Oregon. The town was founded in 1938 by the family-owned Gilchrist Timber Company, which moved there from Mississippi in search of lumber and lower taxes. The company was sold to Crown Pacific Partners in 1991, which subsequently fired all its employees. The 120 homes and other facilities in the town were subsequently sold to residents and others around 1998, with Crown Pacific retaining the sawmill and timberland. The timberland and the town's sawmill, upgraded to handle smaller logs in 2000, were among the last remaining assets of Crown Pacific, which declared bankruptcy in 2003 and was taken over by creditors at the end of 2004.
