OROVILLE CENTENNIAL (1908-2008)

"Honoring our past, celebrating our future."

The "CENTENNIAL Calendar" can be found under Chamberr of Commerce "2008 Calendar."

What makes a town? Is it the street layout, the buildings, or is it mainly the people and their spirit? A town is a community and only people make that.

Oroville was a pioneer town, a service point for gold miners, a railroad town, and servicing cattle ranches, farms, and orchards bearing many different fruits. It is also a border town. One of the first customs offices for a border crossing east of the Cascades was established in the center of what is now downtown Oroville.

Our area also provides an opportunity for adventure and as a get-a-way from the big city. We have a beautiful lake that provides fishing, boating, tubing, water skiing and sailing. There are facilities for horseback riding, hiking and biking.

Check out our events calendar for great planned activities, such as the N.W. Ice Fishing Festival; May Festival; Run for the Border; the circus; CAN-AM hydroplane races; Heritage Days and the Rendezvous Rhythm and Blues Festival.

Remember, it is not what you can see or do here. It is the people and we all welcome you to come and check us out soon. Thanks for for stopping by to check us out or even request an information packet.
