According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.22 square miles (0.57 km2), all of it land.

Donald has a rich history in agriculture, industry, business and family.

By the early 1900’s, Donald was a main station for the Oregon Electric Railway.

The city was named after R. L. Donald who was an engineer of the construction company that built the railway.

The original community was centered on agricultural land growing hops.

[7] The town grew primarily on the hop crop until the Oregon Electric Railway located a substation and depot in Donald.

The post office was established April 13, 1910 and the town was home to the Donald Brick and Tile works from 1911-1923.

The completion of paved Highway 99W negatively affected the railway ridership.
