Pioneers of 1852, the Beans moved to the Mapleton area in 1886 and the town was named shortly thereafter. There was a post office called Seaton established north of the locality in 1885, and when it moved to the Mapleton area in 1889, Mrs. Bean became postmaster. The post office was renamed Mapleton to match the town in 1896.

This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Mapleton has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated Csb on climate maps.[http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather-summary.php3?s=594690&cityname=Mapleton%2C+Oregon%2C+United+States+of+America&units= Climate Summary for Mapleton, Oregon]
