Fascinating Facts
The Basin City Branch of Mid-Columbia Libraries began serving the public in 1990. Community icon Henry Barnett built the Basin City branch building from scratch.
The town of Basin City was laid out in the 1950s on land owned by dry-land farmer Loen Bailey. The town was established to support the local agricultural community which was being opened to irrigation through the Columbia Basin Project. The new settlers to the area consisted primarily of young farmers from Idaho and Southwestern Oregon and World War II Veterans, who received preferential status on the purchase of federal lands that were sold as part of the Project.
