City of BAKER CITY

Original Painting by Marc Desobeau available at Highlands Station, LLC

Baker City is a community steeped with tradition and history. Granted its city charter in 1870, Baker City was once considered to be the premier social center along the Oregon Trail and once boasted the largest population of any city in the state of Oregon. During an era when gold mining was the norm, Baker City was born as a support center for the surrounding gold mining towns.

Baker City is rich with the flavor of the 1890s with its nationally recognized historic shopping district, museums and attractions. We are also sought out by business and industry because of our high standards of living, excellent infrastructure, accessibility to markets and competitive business costs. In Baker city, we have everything you're looking for.
