Members of a fur trapping party led by Peter Skene Ogden were the earliest visitors to this beautiful area, followed by John Fremont and other Army survey parties. After west-bound pioneers came through and forded the Deschutes River at “Farewell Bend”, a small community de- veloped around the bend in the river, and in 1905 the community was incorporated as a city with approximately 300 citizens. Following the Oregon Trunk Railroad comple- tion in 1911, the growth of the vibrant Bend com- munity began. 1914 brought two major lumber companies, and timber became the mainstay of the local economy. Mt. Bachelor ski area became the catalyst for Bend’s visitor industry, generat- ing industrial and commercial expansion. Wood products are still Bend’s leading economic fac- tor, with tourism the second largest industry. Along with other diversified industries, Bend is Central Oregon’s retail hub. Though the sawmills have long been closed, the lifestyle and vibrant culture of a once booming and still shining town remains. Today, the old Brooks-Scanlon mill that is the “Old Mill” is humming once again, not with mills, but with the sounds of people enjoying vibrant shopping, din- ing and entertainment by day and night. Bend’s historic Downtown area, full of art, mouth watering cuisine and unique artisan shops is bustling with year-round activities and events. Relax on the grassy Drake Park and listen to free summer music while indulging in tastes from Bend’s finest restaurants and eats. Bend prides itself on keeping a deep-seated tra- dition of welcoming visitors and newcomers to the historic roots and now vibrant community of Bend, Oregon.

They were members of the Nathaniel Wyeth party who came from their camp on the Columbia River seeking beaver. Prior to the Wyeth visit to the area, Peter Skene Ogden had visited Central Oregon in 1825-26,
