Umatilla County: 

Umatilla County was created out of a portion of Wasco County on September 27, 1862. The County contains 3,231 square miles and is bordered by the Columbia River on the north, Morrow County on the west, Grant County on the south, and Union and Wallowa Counties on the east.

Originally, Marshall Station was designated as the temporary county seat, followed by Umatilla City in 1865. Today, Pendleton acts as the county seat, due to an 1868 vote leading to its election after a population shift to the area.

Though Lewis and Clark and Oregon Trail pioneers passed through Umatilla County, it didn’t truly expand until the arrival of the railroad in 1881, which opened the area for the development of dryland wheat farming. The County’s economy has a strong agricultural base, with fruit, grain, timber, cattle and sheep being important products.

Education:  

The Pilot Rock School District offers classes starting at Kindergarten and running through high school (K-12).
