Boardman, Oregon
Boardman is a city in Morrow County, Oregon, United States, on the Columbia River and Interstate 84. As of the 2020 census the population was 3,828, up from 3,220 in 2010. It is the largest town in Morrow County.
Boardman was homesteaded in 1903 by Samuel H. Boardman, the first superintendent of the Oregon State Parks System. Boardman and his wife worked for 13 years to develop irrigation for their land; during those years his wife taught school, and Boardman at times worked on railroad construction projects. The Union Pacific Railroad passed through Boardman, where it had a station. The community was platted in 1916 at about the same time Samuel Boardman went to work for the Oregon State Highway Department and became involved in the development of roadside parks.
The Boardman post office opened in 1916. The city was incorporated in 1921. South of Boardman, the U.S. Army Air Force established a training range in 1941. The Air Force transferred ownership of the range in 1960 to the U.S. Navy and it is now known as the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility Boardman. The range is largely used by NAS Whidbey Island and the Oregon National Guard.
During construction of the John Day Dam on the Columbia River in the 1960s, the city had to be moved south, further from the waters of the planned Lake Umatilla. Boardman's tourist-oriented businesses were relocated first to serve Interstate 80N (now I-84), which had recently opened, on land that was released by the federal government. The filling of Lake Umatilla began in April 1968 and was completed later that year, completely inundating the old town. The new townsite cost $1.5 million to construct.
Boardman is in northeastern Oregon, along Interstate 84 south of the Columbia River. The city is 308 feet (94 m) above sea level. It is 25 miles (40 km) west of Hermiston and 164 miles (264 km) east of Portland. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 4.43 square miles (11.47 km2), of which 4.03 square miles (10.44 km2) are land and 0.40 square miles (1.04 km2), or 9.05%, are water in the Columbia River.
Boardman has a steppe climate (Köppen BSk).
Boardman is part of the Pendleton–Hermiston Micropolitan Statistical Area.
As of the 2020 census, Boardman had a population of 3,828. The median age was 27.6 years. 34.2% of residents were under the age of 18 and 6.4% of residents were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 109.9 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 113.8 males age 18 and over.
