1936 - A forest fire burned several miles east of the town of Bandon, Oregon. The fire was far enough away that residents were not particularly worried. A sudden shift in the winds drove the flames westward and through town. The fire, caused by summer drought and fueled by the abundant Gorse Weed found in many of the empty spaces between buildings in Bandon, caused so much destruction that only a handful of structures were left standing when the fire finally died down.

Willowcreek is an unincorporated village in Malheur County, Oregon, United States. It is approximately 11 miles (18 km) northwest of Vale along U.S. Route 26. The village has a combined store and café, and the region's elementary school. Willowcreek is located at 44°06′53″N 117°21′52″W. Today Willowcreek has a Vale mailing address, although the nearest post office is in nearby Jamieson.
The village took its name from Willow Creek, a prominent stream of the county that is a tributary of the Malheur River. The Union Pacific (UP) station here was named Lancaster (or Lancaster Station) after Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The station was on UP's Brogan Line, which was removed by UP. It was named by Brogan namesake D. M. Brogan, who was born in the Pennsylvania city. Willowcreek post office had been established in 1937 but was discontinued by 1980.
