Airlie is an unincorporated community in Polk County, Oregon, United States. [1]
The community was named for David Ogilvy, 10th Earl of Airlie of Scotland, who was president of the narrow-gauge Oregonian Railway Company. [2] Airlie was the southern terminus of the railroad. [2] The tracks were later widened to standard gauge and the line was bought by the Southern Pacific Railroad, which removed the Airlie branch by 1929. [2] Airlie post office was established in 1882 and ran intermittently until 1943. [2]
A cultivar of domesticated apple, the Airlie Red Flesh, originated in Airlie.
