Central Oregon contains a number of distinct and unique communities with markedly different "personalities" and amenities to offer residents and visitors. Visitors and those just learning about our area have a tendency to call it "Bend". Certainly, it is the largest city in the area and largest in Oregon east of the Cascade Mountain Range, however most residents consider themselves "Central Oregonians".

Though spanning a considerable geographic area, the three-county area functions as a single unit or region in numerous ways. Health care, higher education, air transportation, civic organizations, events, and many other important aspects combine to make strong social and economic ties between communities.
