Ontario: Oregon-Idaho Border City on the Snake River
Ontario sits on the Oregon side of the Snake River at the Idaho border and serves as the commercial center of Malheur County in far eastern Oregon. The city's population is approximately 10,999. The Snake River Valley irrigation district has supported sugar beet, onion, and potato production for more than a century, and Ontario functions as the regional agricultural processing and shipping hub.
Four Rivers Cultural Center documents the history of the diverse communities that worked the Snake River Valley farms, including Japanese Americans interned at the nearby Minidoka facility during World War II and later resettled to the area, Basque sheepherders who migrated from northern Spain, and Mexican agricultural workers. The Treasure Valley Community College, founded in 1962, serves the area with two-year programs.
Because Ontario is in the Mountain Time Zone rather than Pacific, it operates on a different clock from most of Oregon. It is one of a small number of communities in the state observing Mountain Time.
