Before the European settlers first appeared, the area around what is now Sisters was frequently inhabited by Native American tribes. These bands are now part of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Warm Springs Reservation is just to the north of Sisters.
Camp Polk, a military outpost, was formed in 1985 but lasted less than a year. The town of Sisters was formally established in 1901. The town is known as the Gateway to the Cascades as it is surrounded by the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests. Besides camping, activities in the nearby forests include hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, paddling, fishing, and rock climbing. Nearby Smith Rock hosts world-class climbing routes. You can also travel along a wealth of scenic byways.
The year-round population of Sisters is around 2,600. While small, the town hosts a range of restaurants, shopping opportunities, and art galleries that you would expect in a much larger town. Coffee and old-fashioned treats abound at places like Sisters Coffee Company and Sno Cap Ice Cream. You'll also find breweries, saloons, and more formal sit-down restaurants. The town is less than two square miles, but it has several small parks, a labyrinth, and a community garden.
At the Park & Recreation District Office are a skate park and the Hyzer Pines Disc Golf Course. Along the southwest edge of town, you'll find a beautiful, developed area to relax and take in the majesty of the Three Sisters peaks.
