Hayward is an unincorporated community in Washington County, Oregon, United States.[1] Settled in the late 1880s and named in 1891 by Binger Hermann, it is located off U.S. 26 near Manning. It had a public school from 1891-1945. The school was a 20'x30' frame building that cost $184.44 to build, which included $60 for the carpenter, William Clapshaw. In 1946 it was sold at auction, dismantled, and moved to Banks.

It has a cemetery,[2] opened in 1894. It had a post office from December 1891 until November 1904. Previously, the neighboring town of Greenville, Oregon had the only nearby post office, and it reverted there after it closed.[3]
