Columbia Park Hospital and Training Center, initially called the Mid-Columbia? Home, was created by statute in 1959. The Mid-Columbia? Home took over the facilities of the former Eastern Oregon Tuberculosis Hospital in The Dalles, Oregon. The Mid Columbia Home was established under Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 428 and was Oregon's first institution for the chronically ill and geriatric patients.

In 1961, the Mid-Columbia Home was renamed the Columbia Park State Home with the program still designed to help aged patients transferred from other state institutions. During this same year, the Legislative Assembly decided that all patients transferred to the Columbia Park State Home would come only from the Fairview Home.
