Elgin

Tucked along the Grande Ronde River in northeastern Oregon, Elgin is a place whose character is shaped by the agricultural valley and forested uplands around it. The town stands in the Grande Ronde Valley, a broad inland basin between the Blue Mountains and the Wallowa Mountains. Elgin’s compact center retains the scale of a rural railroad-era community, while the historic Elgin Opera House, built in 1912, remains a focal point for performances and local events. Roads leading out of town connect farmland, river corridors and the mountain country of Union County.
