Pendleton, Oregon | 4k Driving Tour | Pendleton Round Up

A European-American commercial center began to develop here in 1851, when Dr. William C. McKay established a trading post at the mouth of McKay Creek. A United States Post Office named Marshall (for the owner, and sometime gambler, of another local store) was established April 21, 1865, and later renamed Pendleton, after politician and diplomat George H. Pendleton (1825-1889), who served as a U.S. Representative and Senator from Ohio. The city was incorporated by the Oregon Legislative Assembly on October 25, 1880.
By 1900, Pendleton had a population of 4,406 and was the fourth-largest city in Oregon. The Pendleton Woolen Mills and Pendleton Round Up became features of the city captured in early paintings by Walter S. Bowman. Like many cities in Eastern Oregon, where thousands of Chinese immigrant workers built the transcontinental railroad, it had a flourishing Chinatown that developed as the workers settled here. The sector is supposed to have been underlain by a network of tunnels, which are now a tourist attraction. The authenticity as a Chinese tunnel system has been questioned.
The town is the cultural center of Eastern Oregon. Pendleton's "Old town" is listed as a Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) have their property nearby. They have established the Wildhorse Resort & Casino and golf course on the reservation to generate revenue for development and welfare. They have also built the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, for education and interpretation of their cultures.

My family and I moved to Pendleton, Oregon back in like 96 I wanna say. I finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade there at Sherwood Heights before we ended up moving to Newberg, Oregon. Such a great town with such nice people.

Thanks for this
The dmv in my area has been down for many months because of the covid lockdown. Haven’t been able to take a driving test. Was looking at third party ways to take the test. Found out about training wheels of Oregon and apparently there is one in Pendleton? Wanted to see how the roads are. There are one way roads and I’ve never driven on those before 😬 idk

If one is a seeker after truth, it can be found here! I walked the streets in 1968 seeking truth, my heart longs to return to walk the streets again and fall in love with the Baha'is!
