Dayville

Dayville combines a small-town rhythm with the role of a highway crossroads in a way that reflects its position on the South Fork John Day River in eastern Oregon. U.S. Route 26 meets Oregon Route 19 here, linking the community with the open, semi-arid country of Grant County. The wider John Day region includes the Painted Hills unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, known for vividly layered geological formations. Dayville’s name is connected to the river, which commemorates the early-19th-century fur trapper John Day.
