About Prineville

Prineville is a central Oregon city on the Crooked River and the county seat of Crook County. It was founded in 1877 when Monroe Hodges filed the original town plat, and it still has the feel of an older high-desert service center. Les Schwab Tire Centers has long been associated with Prineville, while Central Oregon Community College has a local campus presence. The city sits east of the faster-growing Bend area, with ranching country, rimrock, and outdoor access shaping its personality.
