Our history

The Enterprise was founded in Vale in 1909 with B.M. Stone as manager and J.J. McGrath as editor. Major L.H. French, a mining promoter, provided the financial backing.“The principal reason for the existence of the Malheur Enterprise is the furtherance of the interests of this city, this county and the whole portion of the great state of Oregon,” the founders said in their first edition. The Enterprise has always been independently owned, and was acquired in 2015 by a veteran Oregon newspaper family.
