Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskEstablished in the 1850s as a trading post, Pendleton remains an important railhead. The town makes much of its roots. The area is home to the Umatilla, Cayuse, and Walla Walla tribes. The tribes and ranchers have historically worked in tandem to put on the Pendleton Round-Up.
