Olene is an unincorporated community in Klamath County, Oregon, United States. It
is 10 miles southeast of Klamath Falls on Oregon Route 140. Olene currently has a
general store and at one time it had a school. In 1940 Olene had a population of 62
and was considered a suburb of Klamath Falls. Olene was the center of a prosperous
dairy and potato farming district.

According to William Gladstone Steel, Olene is a Klamath word meaning "eddy place"
or "place of drift." O. C. Applegate adopted the word for the site in 1884 when the
post office was established. The original Olene post office was up the Lost River
from the current townsite. When the post office closed in 1966, it was near The Gap,
a restriction in the Lost River. This gap is also known as Olene Gap, and the Olene
Hot Springs are nearby.

The community was along a rail line operated jointly by Southern Pacific and
Burlington Northern. Today the OC&E Woods Line State Trail, a rails to trails
conversion, passes through Olene. Originally built by the Oregon California and
Eastern Railroad, the railroad line reached Olene in 1918.
