La Grande

La Grande combines an open agricultural valley setting with the close presence of the Blue Mountains in a way that reflects its position in northeastern Oregon. Set in the Grande Ronde Valley, the city lies near the Grande Ronde River, whose basin has shaped settlement and farming in Union County. Eastern Oregon University, founded in 1929 as Eastern Oregon Normal School, gives La Grande a longstanding role in regional education. Open fields give way to forested uplands beyond the city, placing mountain country within its wider setting.
