Original research moved from main page[edit]

Most property owners in Greenhorn have small cabins that are only used as summer vacation homes. Those cabins are occupied off and on during summer months sometimes for just a weekend, and at other times for a week or two. Most of the property owners' principle residences are in the Willamette Valley, and City Council meetings are sometimes held in Oregon City. Since 2002 one house has been occupied nearly full time including during the winter. From late November through April or May snow keeps the roads closed to all vehicles except snowmobiles and other over snow vehicles. A few property owners will visit their cabins in the winter using snowmobiles. The Sumpter Snowmobile Club grooms a trail through Greenhorn which is a popular riding area. Cross country skiers rarely make it to Greenhorn in the winter because it is more than seven miles from the nearest plowed road.

This is very interesting, but it needs to backed up with citations to reliable sources. The fact that Greenhorn has "zero population" is pretty interesting and I bet some of this info has been written up in a newspaper or magazine. Katr67 (talk) 19:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone at the Zero is listening. "It has a City Council, most of whom live in the Portland area and own recreation property here." Among other gems from: The rush is over but Greenhorn is still treasured. --Esprqii (talk) 18:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photo request[edit]

I added a reqphoto tag, even though there is a historic photo. It sounds like a place that might have some interesting structures remaining. tedder (talk) 22:13, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Population explanation[edit]

So this is a town with 0 inhabitants. Can someone do the research to explain how this works? Is this a ghost town? Or do people live there on a transient basis -- as the paragraph above states, all of them visit vacation cabins in the summer? (Someone must have researched this for an article at some point, so a reliable source is out there.) That explanation would help the article immensely. -- llywrch (talk) 21:34, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There have to be some ants living in the town. 47.137.181.252 (talk) 06:12, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
