Near Clarno there was another post office called the Huntley post office. It was established Febuary of 1876 with Joseph Broughton as postmaster. No one has been able to learn why it was named Huntley , but there was a pioneer family near there on Pine Creek named Huntley. It is possible the post office was named for this family. However, in june of 1876 the name was changed to Pine Creek after the creek named Pine Creek which runs into the John Day.The name was again changed in December of 1877, to Crown Rock for the rimrock formation that is domanate in the area.
