Pendleton offers all the convenience of
big-city living in the comfort and safety of
a small town. Located in the sunny
northeastern corner of the state, Pendleton
is home to nearly 17,000 residents. Founded
in 1868 and incorporated in 1880, Pendleton
has a rich history, yet continues to thrive
as a modern, progressive community.
The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation is adjacent to the city.
These good neighbors are an integral part of
the community. The Wildhorse Resort & Casino
hosts many renowned entertainers and
world-class events throughout the year.
Pendleton has many public parks with
exceptional amenities. The Family Aquatic
Center is the place to be between Memorial
Day and Labor Day. With water slides, toys,
Olympic-size pool and diving basin, a sand
volleyball court and many more fun
amenities, families spend many hours playing
together. Then in the winter, the city
installs an ice-skating rink for family fun
in the winter.
 Because of Pendleton’s prime location,
outdoor adventures in the Blue Mountains and
on the Columbia River are just minutes away.
And the Umatilla River, which flows right
through town, provides excellent fishing as
well as a two-mile-long paved and
illuminated walkway along its length through
town.
Few communities boast as much activity as
Pendleton when it comes to the fine and
performing arts. Numerous productions
deliver moving performances on the stage
year-‘round , while the Oregon East Symphony
and chorale showcase extraordinary musicians
and vocalists with a reputation for
excellence. The fine arts are visible around
the entire community. Numerous murals,
statues, and even the whimsical cattle
drive, while galleries and centers teach,
create, and sell a variety of mediums and
forms.
