Welcome to our city.

Sisters is nestled at the base of the majestic Three Sisters and is named for these distinct volcanic peaks in the central Cascades Range. First settled as the Camp Polk military outpost in the mid-1800s, the town of Sisters was built on a foundation of ranching, farming, logging, and accommodating travelers crossing over the Cascades. The city was incorporated in 1946. For more about Sisters’ history, click here.

Today, Sisters is a modern, western community that honors its heritage.  Known for its charming village setting and western themed downtown with unique shops, galleries and restaurants, Sisters also hosts several major special events including the Sisters Rodeo (“The Biggest Little Rodeo in the World”) and the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, the largest outdoor quilt show in the world. The Sisters Folk Festival and Sisters Starry Nights concert series are signature music events that draw top rated talent from around the country. Together with numerous arts and crafts events, Sisters celebrates the spirit of the American West.  

From the Willamette Valley, Sisters is the gateway into Central Oregon and is bordered by the Deschutes National Forest. Within minutes of town, one can enjoy world class hiking, biking, climbing, fishing, horseback riding, skiing, golfing and boating.
