Owenyo was originally established around 1900 as a small Quaker farming community and shipping station. A post office was established on March 20, 1902, and after two moves was discontinued on November 30, 1905. In 1905 the Quakers sold out, and in 1910 the station became an important junction with arrival of the standard gauge Southern Pacific tracks. They ended along the west side of the station platform and the narrow gauge passed by on the east. During the booming 1920s, there were railroad repair facilities, a restaurant and hotel.
