Pendleton

Pendleton occupies the Umatilla River valley in northeastern Oregon. Set between the Columbia Plateau and the foothills of the Blue Mountains, it has long been a regional centre for ranching, agriculture and trade. The city is best known for the Pendleton Round-Up, an annual rodeo held since 1910 that brings Western riding, tribal events and a major parade into downtown. Pendleton Woolen Mills, founded here in 1909, remains closely associated with the city and its distinctive blankets. Downtown retains the scale of an early-20th-century commercial centre, while the river corridor and nearby uplands place the town firmly in Oregon’s dry interior.
