<p>Baker City began as a way station for pioneers on the Oregon Trail.  It was transformed into a booming mining town when gold was discovered in the Blue Mountains in 1861.  By the 1960s, the mining industry had died, but the town has since been rejeuvenated by the erection of the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretative Center, bringing in tourists from around the country.</p>
