Hermiston: Umatilla County Agriculture and the Columbia Plateau
Hermiston is the largest city in eastern Oregon by population, at approximately 17,201, and sits in Umatilla County along Interstate 84. The city developed around the Umatilla Reclamation Project, a federal irrigation system authorized in 1905 that turned the dry Columbia Plateau into productive farmland. Hermiston watermelons, produced from a specific combination of soil, irrigation, and late-summer heat, have gained a regional reputation and are marketed across the Pacific Northwest.
The Umatilla Chemical Depot, a U.S. Army facility that at one point stored approximately 12 percent of the nation's chemical weapons stockpile, operated adjacent to the city from 1941 until the last weapons were destroyed in 2011. The site has since been partially repurposed for industrial and training uses. Lamb Weston's potato processing facility in Hermiston is one of the largest such plants in the world.
