**Gateway** is an [unincorporated community](/source/Unincorporated_area) in [Jefferson County, Oregon](/source/Jefferson_County,_Oregon), United States.[1] It is located about 16 miles east of [Warm Springs](/source/Warm_Springs,_Oregon).[2]

Gateway was named for a depression in the terrain north of [Madras](/source/Madras,_Oregon) formed by the erosion of [Trout Creek](/source/Trout_Creek_(Deschutes_River)) and its tributaries, which created a natural gateway for north–south railroad and vehicular traffic through [Central Oregon](/source/Central_Oregon).[3] The name Gateway was applied to the post office at this locale in 1913.[3] The post office, which was established about three miles from present-day Gateway, was originally called Youngs after local resident Louis A. Young.[3] Gateway post office closed in 1956.[3] The Proprietor of the Store and Post Office was Noah Vibbert.

The station on the [Oregon Trunk Railway](/source/Oregon_Trunk_Railway) in Gateway was also known as Galloway (not to be confused with the post office of the same name in [Morrow County](/source/Morrow_County,_Oregon)).[4] Today the rail line is owned by the [BNSF Railway](/source/BNSF_Railway).[4]

At one time the community had a school, a church, a railroad depot, and a store.[5][6][7]
