Stanfield

Built around a rail stop serving newly irrigated farmland, Stanfield grew into a small agricultural city in the Umatilla River valley of northeastern Oregon. The Umatilla River runs nearby as it crosses the dry Columbia Plateau toward the Columbia River, while irrigated fields remain central to the local economy. Incorporated in 1903, the city was named for Robert N. Stanfield, a prominent local rancher and Oregon politician. Its setting reflects the working landscape of Umatilla County rather than Oregon’s better-known coastal and mountain regions.
