History

A European-American commercial center began to develop here in 1851, when 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.
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.
Economy
::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Grain_Elevators_(Pendleton,_Oregon).jpg" caption="Grain elevators in Pendleton"] ::
The Pendleton area's economy has become increasingly reliant on lower-wage hospitality industry jobs, with the growth of Wildhorse Resort & Casino offsetting job losses in other sectors. By 2022 nearly 1 in 5 jobs (18%) in the Pendleton zip code were in "Accommodation & Food Services," up from 13% in 2000. This dynamic resulted in annualized job growth of just 0.47% from 2012 to 2022, and showed the exposure to economic downturns inherent in the tourism industry, with net job losses from 2019 to 2022 as the casino struggled through the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents increasingly commute to the Hermiston area where median incomes are higher, and where 91% of job growth in Umatilla County occurred from 2012 to 2022. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Umatilla_County_Employment_2012-2022.jpg" caption="Umatilla County Employment 2012-2022"] ::
Pendleton Woolen Mills is a maker of wool blankets, shirts, and an assortment of other woolen goods. Founded in 1909 by Clarence, Roy and Chauncey Bishop, the company built upon earlier businesses related to the many sheep ranches in the region. A wool-scouring plant opened in Pendleton in 1893 to wash raw wool for shipping. In 1895, the scouring mill was converted into a mill that made wool blankets and robes for Native Americans. Both businesses failed to survive, but the Bishops, with the help of a local bond issue, enlarged the mill and improved its efficiency. They developed a successful line of garments and blankets with "vivid colors and intricate patterns."
St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton is a 25-bed medical center.
Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution (EOCI) in Pendleton is the only place in Oregon where inmates make "Prison Blues" denim clothing. The prison also operates a commercial laundry serving customers that include EOCI, the Snake River Correctional Institution, Pendleton High School, a local flour mill, and other entities. In addition, some EOCI inmates work as clerks or have jobs in food service or maintenance.
Geography
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.52 sqmi, all land.
The city was built on both sides of the Umatilla River, which has periodically flooded and caused some damage. In the beginning, the river was vital as a transportation and trading route for settlers, as well as a water and power source. It connected the city to the Columbia River.
Climate
Pendleton has a cool semi-arid climate (Köppen: BSk) with short, cool winters and hot summers. Pendleton had the highest temperature recorded in Oregon at 119 °F on August 10, 1898, which was later tied on June 29, 2021, at the Pelton Dam COOP weather station in Jefferson County, and the Moody Farms Agrimet weather station in Wasco County. The highest temperature recorded in Pendleton in recent times was 117 °F on that same June 29, 2021. | location = Pendleton, Oregon (Eastern Oregon Regional Airport), 1991–2020 normals, extremes 1892–present | single line = Yes | Jan record high F = 71 | Feb record high F = 76 | Mar record high F = 83 | Apr record high F = 95 | May record high F = 103 | Jun record high F = 117 | Jul record high F = 114 | Aug record high F = 119 | Sep record high F = 104 | Oct record high F = 93 | Nov record high F = 80 | Dec record high F = 75 | Jan avg record high F = 60.7 | Feb avg record high F = 61.6 | Mar avg record high F = 69.4 | Apr avg record high F = 77.4 | May avg record high F = 88.0 | Jun avg record high F = 95.2 | Jul avg record high F = 102.6 | Aug avg record high F = 101.0 | Sep avg record high F = 92.6 | Oct avg record high F = 80.0 | Nov avg record high F = 66.5 | Dec avg record high F = 59.9 | year avg record high F = 104.2 | Jan high F = 41.7 | Feb high F = 46.4 | Mar high F = 55.0 | Apr high F = 61.8 | May high F = 70.9 | Jun high F = 78.4 | Jul high F = 89.2 | Aug high F = 87.6 | Sep high F = 78.0 | Oct high F = 63.5 | Nov high F = 49.1 | Dec high F = 40.8 | year high F = | Jan mean F = 34.9 | Feb mean F = 38.0 | Mar mean F = 44.4 | Apr mean F = 50.1 | May mean F = 57.9 | Jun mean F = 64.6 | Jul mean F = 73.0 | Aug mean F = 71.8 | Sep mean F = 63.5 | Oct mean F = 51.5 | Nov mean F = 40.7 | Dec mean F = 34.2 | year mean F = | Jan low F = 28.0 | Feb low F = 29.6 | Mar low F = 33.7 | Apr low F = 38.3 | May low F = 45.0 | Jun low F = 50.7 | Jul low F = 56.7 | Aug low F = 56.0 | Sep low F = 49.0 | Oct low F = 39.4 | Nov low F = 32.3 | Dec low F = 27.5 | year low F = | Jan avg record low F = 11.7 | Feb avg record low F = 15.8 | Mar avg record low F = 23.1 | Apr avg record low F = 28.5 | May avg record low F = 33.5 | Jun avg record low F = 41.2 | Jul avg record low F = 47.2 | Aug avg record low F = 46.0 | Sep avg record low F = 37.8 | Oct avg record low F = 25.7 | Nov avg record low F = 18.8 | Dec avg record low F = 12.1 | year avg record low F = 3.7 | Jan record low F = -26 | Feb record low F = -21 | Mar record low F = 1 | Apr record low F = 17 | May record low F = 22 | Jun record low F = 30 | Jul record low F = 38 | Aug record low F = 30 | Sep record low F = 21 | Oct record low F = 11 | Nov record low F = -13 | Dec record low F = -28 | precipitation colour = green | Jan precipitation inch = 1.52 | Feb precipitation inch = 1.19 | Mar precipitation inch = 1.33 | Apr precipitation inch = 1.21 | May precipitation inch = 1.45 | Jun precipitation inch = 1.05 | Jul precipitation inch = 0.26 | Aug precipitation inch = 0.31 | Sep precipitation inch = 0.53 | Oct precipitation inch = 1.09 | Nov precipitation inch = 1.39 | Dec precipitation inch = 1.50 | year precipitation inch = | unit precipitation days = 0.01 in | Jan precipitation days = 12.3 | Feb precipitation days = 9.9 | Mar precipitation days = 11.6 | Apr precipitation days = 9.6 | May precipitation days = 9.6 | Jun precipitation days = 6.5 | Jul precipitation days = 2.4 | Aug precipitation days = 2.2 | Sep precipitation days = 3.8 | Oct precipitation days = 8.2 | Nov precipitation days = 11.6 | Dec precipitation days = 12.5 | Jan snow inch = 3.8 | Feb snow inch = 4.5 | Mar snow inch = 0.7 | Apr snow inch = 0.0 | May snow inch = 0.0 | Jun snow inch = 0.0 | Jul snow inch = 0.0 | Aug snow inch = 0.0 | Sep snow inch = 0.0 | Oct snow inch = 0.1 | Nov snow inch = 1.2 | Dec snow inch = 5.4 | year snow inch = | unit snow days = 0.1 in | Jan snow days = 2.9 | Feb snow days = 2.2 | Mar snow days = 1.1 | Apr snow days = 0.0 | May snow days = 0.0 | Jun snow days = 0.0 | Jul snow days = 0.0 | Aug snow days = 0.0 | Sep snow days = 0.0 | Oct snow days = 0.1 | Nov snow days = 1.2 | Dec snow days = 3.7 | source 1 = NOAA |url = https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/services/data/v1?dataset=normals-monthly-1991-2020&stations=USW00024155&format=pdf&dataTypes=MLY-TMAX-NORMAL,MLY-TMIN-NORMAL,MLY-TAVG-NORMAL,MLY-PRCP-NORMAL,MLY-SNOW-NORMAL |publisher = National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration |title = U.S. Climate Normals Quick Access – Station: Pendleton, OR |access-date = April 14, 2023 | source 2 = National Weather Service |url = https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=pdt |publisher = National Weather Service |title = NOAA Online Weather Data – NWS Pendleton |access-date = April 14, 2023 | source =

Pendleton lies along the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), constructed originally through the area in the 1880s by the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company (OR&N). In 1880, the OR&N began construction of a rail line from Portland through the Columbia Gorge to eastern Oregon. It reached Umatilla and Wallula in 1881, Pendleton in 1882, and then La Grande, Baker City, and Huntington, where by 1884 it met the UP line from Utah. Since Pendleton was also connected by rail to the Northern Pacific line at Wallula and Walla Walla, by 1885 it was a stop on two transcontinental lines. The UP absorbed the OR&N line in 1889.
Between 1977 and 1997, the city was a regular stop along the former route of Amtrak's Pioneer between Chicago and Seattle via Salt Lake City and Portland.

Sister cities
Pendleton has a sister city relationship with Marikina, a municipality-turned-city in the Philippines. The relationship was established in 1971 when then mayor Eddie O. Knopp and Marikina mayor Osmundo de Guzman had their daughters temporarily switch schools in their respective towns. By 1974, Knopp visited Marikina after Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos declared a nationwide martial law two years prior, and expressed that based on the "excellent peace and order situation" he saw while in the country, the United States could try implementing martial law in towns rampant with violence and crime.
Another sister city of Pendleton is the town of Minamisōma, in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Minamisoma is 16 mi north of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which was damaged by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Since then, Japanese exchange students from Minamisoma have continued to visit Pendleton, though students from Pendleton have stopped visiting Minamisoma over growing radiation concerns.
