Along with traditional community busi­nesses, Union is home to several ebusiness­es that have experienced global success.

Settled in 1862 by Conrad Miller, wholaunched one of the first nurseries in theGrande Ronde Valley by planting appleand pear trees, Union was incorporated in1878 and served as an active trade routebetween The Dalles andUmatilla and the minesin Baker City. Later

timber logging and lumber mills wereadded.

Union, named in patriotic sympathywith the North during the Civil War, is thesecond largest city in Union County andwas once the county seat.

area.

1865 and originally known as Brownsville,La Grande is now the regional hub ofcom­merce and education. With a populationof about 13,000, La Grande is the UnionCounty seat and the largest city in the re­gion. La Grande is the home of Eastem Or­egon University, which adds an amazingdepth of cultural, athletic and diverse ame­nities to the community. Those who haverelocated to La Grande find intriguing andexciting the mix of a lzd-back place withno congestion and short commutes andthe "big city" offerings of dance, theatre,sporting events, and live music.

The city is the regional operations cen­ter for many state and federal agencies aswell as Union Pacific Railroad. The originalOregon Trail runs right through La Grande,as does the Grande Ronde River and Inter­state 84.

La Grande is also the "jump-off" pointfor historic Joseph, popular Wallowa Lakeand the breathtaking Eagle Cap Wildemess

La Grande's downtown is rich with his­tory and economic opportunity for smallbusinesses.

oca must umsFor thousands of years, Native Ameri­

cans were drawn to the Grande RondeValley to hunt, gather food and to grazetheir horses. The abundant resourcesdrew several different and often war­ring tribes. For a few months duringthe summer, the Nez Perce, Cayuse,Umatilla, Walla Walla and the Shosho­ne tribes lived together in harmony inwhat they called 'The Valley of Peace."

Although settlers passed throughthe valley while en route along theOregon Trail in the early 1840s, fewwere willing to be deterred from theirWillamette Valley goal. But early in the1860s, many settlers took notice of theGrande Ronde Valley's resources, estab­lishing farms and settlements. With thediscovery of gold, the valley prosperedand settlements thrived.

Along with peaceful settlers, cowboysand entrepreneurs, the region also drewoutlaws, horse thieves, and cutthroats,lending colorful names to many ofUnion County's landmarks. Thief Val­ley Reservoir eamed its name when aband of vigilantes hanged a horse thief,while Dead Man Pass memorializes thestruggles of the early pioneers.

Step onto history along B Avenue inthe oldest part of La Grande. Not onlydid wagons rumble down the hillsideat this historic spot, many set up campat what is now Bimie Park. Stop andenjoy the display by local artists com­memorating this historic site and imag­ine life as an Oregon settler.

The first pioneer cabin was builton the comer of B Avenue and CedarStreet. The cabin has since been moved

to Gangloff Park along Hwy. 30 over­looking La Grande. Historians erecteda marker making it easy to find and tomemorialize the location.

You can literally walk in the footstepsof pioneers by stopping at the BlueMountain Crossing. Head west out ofLa Grande on 1-84 to exit 247 this willtake you right to the outdoor interpre­tive park — you can see where wagonwheels rubbed and scarred trees as theymade their way through the woods.

The first wooden structure was built in1864, and a brick building with 105 hotelrooms was completed in 1908.

But hard times hit the hotel, and nu­merous business attempts never took off.

In 2003, the Manuel family bought HotLake and began restoration. The Hot LakeSprings Gallery and Foundry opened in2005, and the first ovemight guests werewelcomed in 2010.http://www.hotlakesprings.com/66172 Hwy 203, La Grande

With plenty of seldom used backroads,seeing Union County by bicycie is a terrificway to go any time of year. The GrandeRonde Valley is very rider-fiiendly, andyou'll be on the receiving end of frequentfriendly waves and smiles as you pedalthrough the small communities.

The sceneryvaries greatly from season toseason, and the valley is accessible all yearlong.

Spring: newly planted crops, young ten­der foliage on the trees and bushes, andcolorful pops of wildflowers.

Early summer: lush rolling field cropsand cool temperatures.

Mid-summer: brilliant yellow of canolafields and sunflowers.

July: pass farmers harvesting their cropsin the warm summer sun.

Fall: moderate temperatures and bril­liant fall colors.
