Condon, small town America at its best, is the county seat of Gilliam County.  Incorporated in 1893 and originally known as Summit Springs it provided a welcome respite for travelers journeying through the high desert of north central Oregon.

Condon is a City of all Seasons -  
Spring welcomes you with Daffodils and Goldfinches.  Summer offers relaxed days, evening breezes and the sounds of outdoor summer fun. Fall yields the bounty of the earths harvest and the clear night sky exhibits stars to gaze or perhaps to wish upon. Winter is often accompanied with snow and a White Christmas complete with Santa.

Local clergy alternate a weekly Worship Service at Summit Springs Village for those unable to attend the regular church services.  Three churches:  the United Church of Christ, the Baptist Church and Catholic Church warmly welcome members and friends through their doors.  All these churches are located a block or less from Summit Springs Village.

Convenience and accessibility are two words that describe both Summit Springs Village and Condon. Main Street is only two blocks away offering a variety store complete with an old fashion soda fountain and a Powell's Book Store, grocery stores, a bank, full service drug store, movie theater, library and post office.

Events and recreational opportunities are varied and all members of the community are welcome. Condon offers a nine-hole golf course, swimming pool, tennis court, the County Fair and Rodeo (the fair grounds are located right at the north edge of town), you can also enjoy an old fashion Fourth of July parade and activities plus various other clubs and organizations.

Gilliam County and Senior Services provide a van for transportation to medical appointments and activities, allowing residents to maintain their personal independence. The van gives residents the opportunity to participate and enjoy outings while leaving the driving to someone else.
