The first thing we wanted to know after locating an RV park with room for us (I made reservations last month for this trip.), was how did the town get its name? This is what we discovered:
... IRRIGON, 8 m. (297 alt., 65 pop.), on the site of old Grande Ronde Landing, a former stopping place for travelers, derives its name and sustenance from the irrigation district of which it is the center.
Right now we are waiting for the temps to drop (93 degrees at 4:30) before going over to the Columbia River, very close to the campground.
You can see the river from our RV site.
