Geocache Description:

Please enjoy the hunt through the old farm equipment. I can't even iagine having to use some of this stuff.

Emigrants began leaving the Oregon trail and settling the Echo area c. 1860, making the Echo Meadows one of the first agricultural sites in Umatilla County. Hand dug irrigation ditches insured water to grow alfalfa, corn and other crops during these early years. Later, the Echo area became the center of a huge sheep ranching area. While settlement began in the 1860's, a town was not platted until 1880. JH Koontz and W Brassfield platted the town in 1880 and named it for Koontz' 3-year old daughter, Echo. The railroad which was built through Echo in 1883 brought prosperity. By 1907 the town was a major shipping point for wool, cattle and sheep with a thriving business district. The town was incorporated in 1904.
