Endersby was named for W. E. Endersby, a settler. A post office called Endersly, with an unexplained variant spelling, operated here from 1892 through 1906.[3]

Endersby School, built as a grange hall in 1892, opened as a public school in 1907. It closed in 1935, after enrollment had dropped to 11 students, and the building then passed into private hands. In 1994, volunteers moved the building to Dufur, and its owner gave it to the Dufur Historical Society. A grant from the Meyer Memorial Trust enabled the society to restore the school, and in 2003 Endersby School became an exhibit at the Dufur Museum.[4]
