Region of The Dalles

The Dalles is situated on the North Pacific Coast Region.

This map of the state demonstrates the 7 regions Oregon state is made up of.  The Dalles is right on the Columbia Gorge region. The boundaries within the Eastern Oregon region is actually under the Empty Interior region, which is shared by parts of Central Oregon, a slice of eastern Washington State, Idaho, & Montana.


Agriculture is what moves the city, as sweet cherries are their number one agricultural product. Since I spent a few summers there as a child, I was no stranger to the cherries phenomena. My uncle happened to work in the cherry fields, and he'd bring home buckets of sweet cherries every day.

The City of The Dalles website lists over 13,000 people as their current population.Since it is so close to the Washington border, it serves as a trading area of 70,000 people between both states.  Year-round  recreational activities pulls in people from many parts of the Pacific North West.
