Cornucopia, Oregon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cornucopia is a ghost town^[1] of the gold mining boom of the 1880s in Eastern Oregon, United States. The name of the town was chosen since it meant "Horn of Plenty".^[2]. Gold was discovered in Cornucopia in 1884. It is located east of Baker City high in the mountains of Pine Valley almost due north of Halfway, Oregon on Oregon Route 86.
