The following excerpt is from "Oregon Geographic Names," sixth edition, Lewis A.
McArthur:


Hildebrand, KLAMATH. This post office was first established with the name
Edgewood in Aug. 1890, and with Newton F. Hildebrand first postmaster. The name
of the office was changed to Hildebrand in December of the same year. From Oct.
1919, until May 1923, the name of the office was Hilderbrand, but the error was
corrected. This office has not operated continuously, and as with other
early-day post offices, it may not always have been in the same place.
