The Warren post office was established in 1885; it was named by local resident James Gill for his hometown of Warren, Massachusetts.[2] The post office was discontinued in 1888, but reestablished in 1890 as "Gilltown" because there was another post office named Warren in Umatilla County.[2] The Columbia County office became Warren again in 1895, and the Umatilla County office was closed in 1902; the locality in Umatilla County is now known as Myrick.[2]
