Shaniko  

Shaniko, Oregon is a ghost town located in Wasco County, Oregon, United States. It was founded in 1887 as a railroad town and was once the largest wool shipping point in the world. The town's population peaked in 1911 at over 1,000 people, but it began to decline after the railroad was bypassed in 1912. Shaniko was officially abandoned in 1954, but a few residents have remained in the town ever since.

Today, Shaniko is a popular tourist destination. The town is home to several historic buildings, including the old hotel, jail, school, and post office. There are also several museums in Shaniko, including the Shaniko Preservation Guild Museum and the Shaniko Wool Museum.
