Talk:Dufur, Oregon

"Ask not what Dufur can Dufur (do for) you, but what you can Dufur (do for) Dufur"
"Dufur a Town, It'll Dufur a Name" I like the quote but who said it? What is the relevance? Is it the town motto? WNW3 (talk) 16:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The quote is a paraphrase of John F. Kennedy who said in a speech, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." GBC (talk) 23:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I got that part :P I was more interested in the encyclopedic value on this particular page. Looks like it's gone now anyway. WNW3 (talk) 03:25, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

The Founders of Dufur did not actually have the last name of Dufur. Andrew and Enoch DuFour came over from France and settled here. The name of the town was originally supposed to be something else (Willowdale or some such). Andrew, on his way to Salem, to get the town established, decided that the town should be named after Him and Enoch. It was a typo that kept the town from being named DuFour as it was pronounced Dufur. So the town was given this name and propered for a time.
