History
The name "Bend" comes from the name "Farewell Bend," used by early pioneers to refer to the location along the Duties River where the town was eventually built, one of the few likely parking points along the river.

Until the winter of 1824, the Bend area was known only to Native Americans who hunted and fished there. That year, members of the fur party headed by Peter Skene Ogden visited the area. John C. Fremont, John Strong Newberry, and other army search parties came next. Then the pioneers, heading further west, passed through the area and crossed the Duties River at Farewell Bend.

The small Pilot Butte Development Company plant, built-in May 1901, became the first commercial sawmill in Bend. The original location was in the backyard of the Pilot Butte Inn. In 1903, Chand and Reed founded a small sawmill in Bend. It was on the Duties River just below the PionerPark area. The sawmill was operated using mill water wheels. A small community developed around a sawmill, and in 1904 there were already about 300 residents of the community. On January 4, 1904, the city held its first official meeting as a city municipality, a. H. Goodwillie was elected as the first mayor. Originally the settlement was called "Farewell Bend," later the name was shortened to "Bend."

In 1910, a reservoir was created, after the construction of the Bend Water dam, Light & Power Company on the Duties River in Bend. The dam provided the city with its own original source of electricity. The dam and power plant have been owned by Pacific Power since 1926 and still produce electricity, which supplies approximately 200 Bend households. In 1916, Duties County, Oregon was formed from the western half of Crook County and Band was designated the county seat. In 1929, Bend amended the charter and adopted a new administrative form of the city council.
