The City of Bend, Oregon History What Is Now Bend, Oregon Was Known Only to Native Americans Until the Winter of 1824. It Was T The City of Bend, Oregon Bend Picture Montage ©2006 Teresa Krafft / Krafft Design History What is now Bend, Oregon was known only to Native Americans until the winter of 1824. It was then that Peter Skene Ogden’s fur trapping party became the first non-native visitors to the region. John Fremont and other army survey parties followed soon thereafter, as did caravans of pioneers who forded the Deschutes at a bend in the river known as “Farewell Bend”. A small community grew up around that historical crossing, and the City of Bend was officially incorporated in 1905, boasting a start-up population of 300. In addition to being a service and retail center for the area, agriculture and horse and cattle ranching were also staples of the early Bend economy. In 1909, two competitive railroad barons, E.H. Harriman and James J. Hill, entered into a multi-million dollar battle to see who would first lay the track to Bend. In 1911, Hill’s Oregon Trunk Railroad was completed, providing a short cut for rail freight from Northern California to the Columbia River. With the stimulus of the railroad, two large Minnesota based lumber companies (Brooks-Scanlon and Shevlin-Hixon) built mills in Bend in 1914, and timber became the mainstay of the local economy. Bend continued to grow and became increasingly reliant on the timber industry until the mid 1970’s when tourism began to change the face of the town. Still, it wasn’t until the 1980’s that timber as a mainstay in the City’s economic diet, became a thing of the past. After the recession of the mid 1980’s, Bend was quick to come back and was once again experiencing significant growth by the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Growth was triggered by several factors. First, Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort matured as a ski area achieving national status. This then became the catalyst for the visitor industry, which simultaneously generated industrial and commercial expansion. Coupled with an already popular summer season, a year around tourism industry was developed, which stimulated the development of other major destination resorts. Lumber remanufacturing firms settled in Bend, and wood products continued to be a leading economic factor, along with tourism, and other diversified industries developing. This economic growth, and accompanying population expansion, established Bend as the largest Oregon city east of the Cascade Mountain Range and is the region’s principal tourism, wood products, professional services, retail, medical and governmental service center.

In fact, Bend receives an average of only 8-15 inches of precipitation per year and enjoys lots of sunny, blue skies which is one reason our city is ranked among the most desirable places to live by national magazines.

However, the area was hit hard by the impacts of the nation wide recession and the collapse in both the residential and commercial construction markets. Bend is slowly beginning to recover and like other areas, it is expected to take years to fully recover from this economic downturn. Despite this, Bend still offers many amenities for a city of its size. Aside from the sunny climate, the leading reasons people still continue to move to the region include year-round outdoor recreational activities, well established retail, top-rated restaurants, an award winning parks system and a thriving community as listed below. Activities With over 2.5 million acres of public land and open space, the area offers something for everyone. Opportunities abound for a variety of activities: o Golf o White water rafting o Fishing o Hunting o Mountain bike riding o Boating o Hiking o Rock climbing o Snow skiing o Snowmobiling o Water skiing o Fishing o Camping Balloons Over Bend, Summer 2006 ©2006 Dustin Mitsch / Alpen Exposure o Horseback riding Local Attractions Local attractions include: o Mt.
