John Day

This little city in Grant County, Oregon, serves as the largest settlement in the county and sits at the junction of two major US routes, with scenic surroundings and a modest but real café and restaurant scene for a place its size. Named for John Day, a Virginia member of the 1811 Astor Expedition, the city was incorporated in 1901 and shares its name with the nearby river.
