The city, with an historic main street along Oregon Route 19, is a farming and ranching community. == History == Condon was the southern terminus of the Condon Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad. In 1883, a local homesteader named Potter platted the land around a spring on his property.〔 The spring, which emerged from a bed of black basalt, was known to pioneer ranchers in the area as ''Summit Springs''. Experiencing financial difficulty, Potter surrendered the site to the legal firm Condon and Cornish from Arlington.〔 Harvey C. Condon, a member of the firm, was a nephew of Oregon geologist Thomas Condon.〔 Condon and Cornish sold lots in the townsite and in 1884, resident David B. Trimble applied for a post office and became its first postmaster.〔 He named the post office Condon after Harvey C. Condon.〔 Condon Air Force Station was a radar station near the city〔 that operated from 1951 to 1970. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Condon, Oregon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
