The Dalles is the county seat and largest city of Wasco County, Oregon, United States. The name of the city comes from the French word ''dalle'' (meaning either "sluice" (akin to English "dale" and German ''T''()''al'', "valley") or "flagstone" and referring to the columnar basalt rocks carved by the river, in ''voyageur'' French used to refer to rapids), which was used by the French-Canadian employees of the North West Company to refer to the rapids of the Columbia River between the present-day city and Celilo Falls. Also in the same area was the Petite Dalles or Little Dalles, or Short Narrows. The population was 13,620 at the 2010 census.
