Located at the convergence of five canyons and three creeks, Heppner was ideally situated as a central trading center, and the town grew very rapidly. By 1873, 4 years after the first settler arrived, the town had at least two general stores, a doctor, a drug store, a saloon, a post office, and a school. Much of the residential area seen here was destroyed in a 1903 flash flood which killed 200 people.
