Community

Barney Prine, who built a blacksmith shop and store/saloon on the banks of the Crooked River, founded Prineville in 1868.  Prineville (population 9,990) is Central Oregon’s oldest town and the Crook County seat.  Crook County (population 22,775) was named for General George Crook in recognition of his efforts in resolving the 1878 Bannock Indian conflict.

 

Prineville’s major economy presently comes from ranching, agriculture, wood products industries and the Les Schwab Tire Center headquarters.  Progressive industrial parks located near the airport are attracting many manufacturing, warehousing and transportation businesses. Small businesses, service industries, a unique city-owned railroad and two large irrigation projects add to the economy. 

With an abundance of natural beauty, open spaces and blue skies, the area offers unlimited recreational opportunities including backpacking, water sports, fishing/hunting.

Major destination resorts are developing and people outside our region have discovered the quality of life in Crook County. 

Prineville is surrounded by the spectacular Ochoco National Forest and Crooked River National Grasslands. Ochoco Lake and Prineville Reservoir are open for year-round fishing. Prineville Reservoir State Park contains a campground and swimming area.

 
The Crook County Chamber of Commerce and other community service groups such as Rotary and Kiwanis provide exceptional support. The District has a full complement of Co-curricular activities that are valued and supported by the community. Site Council and parent teacher organizations are active at each of the schools and provide excellent support for building administrators.
