L ocated in northeastern Oregon (just 8 miles south of Walla Walla, Washington), Milton-Freewater is a community surrounded by orchards, wheat fields and vineyards set against the beautiful Blue Mountains (yes, they really are blue!).
Long before the two towns of Milton and Freewater merged in 1950,
settlers flocked to this area to take advantage of the fertile soil.
Now situated within the acclaimed Walla Walla Valley Wine
Appellation, the area is still well known for its agricultural
bounty.
Lots of sun in the summer and mild winters contribute to an almost perfect climate. According to the most recent figures, our
population is 6585.
The
City provides
all City utilities, including electric service. City Light
and Power is the oldest municipal electric utility operating in
the State of Oregon and also offers one of the lowest power
rates in the northwest.
What
are the frogs all about? It's Muddy Frogwater Country!
Tour the City and you'll discover over 40 whimsical frog statues
celebrating our City's brand. Pick up a map at the City or
the Chamber of Commerce and see if you can find them all!
