Burns, Oregon was established in 1884, receiving its name from postmaster George McGowan in honor of
Robert Burns,  the "Bard of Ayrshire" from McGowan's ancestral homeland of Scotland. 
Burns became the designated seat of government for the newly created Harney County following a hotly contested election in 1889.
