Gates was founded as a settlement for miners and loggers who lived in the area during the winter months. A post office was established in February 1882.

Ten years later W.R. Robertson, then postmaster, moved the post office across the river to a place called Gatesville. The name of the post office was changed to Gates, which became the name of the city when it was incorporated in 1950. Gates is a peaceful little town located three miles east of Mill City along the North Santiam River. Several small pristine creeks and tributaries run through or near Gates, including Rock Creek, Little Rock Creek and Mad Creek.
