The Dalles is a historic city situated along the Columbia River in northern Oregon. As one of the oldest permanently occupied settlements in the Pacific Northwest, it served as a crucial stop on the Oregon Trail during the mid-19th century.
The area has a rich Native American history, particularly with the local Wasco and Warm Springs tribes who used the area as a major trading center for thousands of years. The city's name comes from the French word 'dalle,' referring to the rapids and rock formations that were once present in the Columbia River before the construction of The Dalles Dam.
Today, The Dalles combines its historical heritage with contemporary culture, featuring various cultural institutions that preserve and showcase both its pioneer and Native American history. The surrounding Columbia River Gorge area provides a dramatic backdrop to the city's cultural landscape.
