The town received its name when the Southern Pacific Railroad reached there.[4] Crabtree Creek and Crabtree Lake in Linn County were named for pioneer John J. Crabtree, a native of Virginia, who arrived in the Oregon Country in 1845.[4] He wintered in the Tualatin Plains, then bought the William Packwood Donation Land Claim east of the forks of the Santiam River in the spring in 1846.[4] The station and community were named for John Crabtree's cousin Fletcher Crabtree.[4]

There is a fire station[5] and a Christian church,[6] the church being the only private business that is still active. At 37597 Crabtree drive there is a two-story building that was a general store from construction in 1920 until being sold in 1976. There is another two-story building at 37627 Crabtree drive, which was the Crabtree Tavern until it closed in 2013[7]
