The town received its name when the Southern Pacific Railroad reached there.[4] Crabtree Creek and Crabtree Lake in Linn County were named for pioneer , a native of Virginia, who arrived in the Oregon Country in 1845.[4] 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.[4] The station and community were named for John Crabtree's cousin Fletcher Crabtree.[4]

There is a fire station[5] and a Christian church.[6] The Crabtree Tavern closed in 2013.[7] The circa 1910 building housing the tavern originally served as a hardware and farm implement store.[8] Crabtree Tavern opened at the end of Prohibition.[8]
