A post office operated in Odessa from 1902 through 1919.[3] Blanche Griffith was one of the earlypostmasters. According toOregon Geographic Names (OGN), in the late 1940s, Griffith said that the wife of her husband's brother named the community after a place in France. However, the OGN compiler thought it more likely that the name related to the city ofOdesa inUkraine.[3]
