History
Home of the Basques
Oregon's only remaining Basque pelota fronton stands in the middle of town — built 1915–1917 by sheepherders from the Pyrenees, and still here.
History & Heritage
Stone buildings, big loops, and the Home of the Basques
A gold strike founded it, Irish and Basque settlers built it in stone, and ranch families have kept it alive for a century and a half. Jordan Valley’s history isn’t behind glass — it’s standing in the middle of town, and you can put your hand on it.
History
St. Bernard's Catholic Church
Built in 1914 of local stone by Irish and Basque settlers — a century-old parish church that still anchors the skyline of a very small town.
History
Ranching, Gold & the Pioneer Trail
Gold strikes on Jordan Creek, wagon roads to the Idaho mines, and cattle outfits that outlasted them all — how the town came to be.
