Hauser was originally named "North Slough" but it was decided the name was unsuitable.[4][5][6] It was renamed after Eric V. Hauser of Portland, who, with his sons, had a construction contract on the railroad in about 1914.[4][6] Hauser is also the namesake of the library at Reed College in Portland and he once owned the Multnomah Hotel.[7][8] Hauser post office ran from 1915 to 1957.[4]

Charles D. McFarlin of Massachusetts built the first known cranberry bog on the West Coast in what is now Hauser in 1884.[9][10]
