Haines

Few communities in eastern Oregon have a history as closely tied to the arrival of the railroad as Haines. Established in 1885 beside the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company line, this small city developed in the broad Baker Valley, where the Powder River crosses a working agricultural district. The Elkhorn Mountains rise to the west, part of the Blue Mountains system that shapes northeastern Oregon’s high-country horizon. Haines is also known for the Haines Stampede, a long-running rodeo held around Independence Day that keeps ranching traditions visible in a town of modest scale. Its streets place local services and open farmland close together, while nearby Baker City is the area’s larger historic centre.
