The community was established in 1881 as a service center for the surrounding ranches, then incorporated in 1901. The town is so tiny that its population peaked at 82 in 1930 and has been in decline ever since.<\/p>\n<p>The nearest town is Condon, about 20 miles away, about half of that being gravel road.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Welcome to Lonerock by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7291037504\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Welcome to Lonerock\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8142\/7291037504_0c9538f6ff_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"389\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWelcome to Lonerock<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Post office by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7291036942\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Post office\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7243\/7291036942_125a522720_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe &#8220;post office&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Old Community Hall by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7291037414\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Old Community Hall\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8021\/7291037414_2e42184924_c.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nOld community hall<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"New Community Hall by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7291037284\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"New Community Hall\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7241\/7291037284_cabef046ec_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nNew community hall<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The lone rock by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7291036646\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"The lone rock\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8014\/7291036646_9811bc130f_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe famous rock behind the church<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Former schoolhouse by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7291037040\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Former schoolhouse\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8021\/7291037040_e380bc4078_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe old schoolhouse is now a private home<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Town jail by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7291037174\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Town jail\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8164\/7291037174_ed3e8d8cc6_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe old town jail<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Lonerock,+OR&amp;hl=en&amp;sll=44.145447,-120.583402&amp;sspn=5.62894,16.907959&amp;oq=lonerock,+or&amp;t=m&amp;hnear=Lonerock,+Gilliam,+Oregon&amp;z=15\">Map of Lonerock<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peachylife.net\/blog\/oregontownsproject\/\" target=\"_self\">Oregon Towns Project<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date of visit: May 26, 2012 Population: 21 (2010 Census) Lonerock is a tiny little town in the middle of<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/2013\/06\/08\/lonerock\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Lonerock<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[66],"tags":[138],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1190"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1190\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
