Mountain Home is a vibrant rural community of 15,000, originally a post office at Rattlesnake Station, a stagecoach stop on the Overland Stage Line, about seven miles east of the city. With the addition of the Oregon Short Line Railroad in 1883, the post office was moved downhill and west to the city's present site.
