About the Cities
Odell and Parkdale, two small communities in the Hood River Valley,
are green and fertile with apple, pear and cherry orchards surrounded
by county and national forests. Nearby, Mt. Hood features an abundance
of snow skiing, hiking and biking trails.
The community of Parkdale is located on the southern flank of
the Hood River Valley, and is dominated by the towering slopes
of Mt.
Hood immediately to the south. Parkdale is a descriptive name rather
accurately describing the community and its surroundings. The name
is said to have been selected by Ralph Davies, about 1910, when
the post office was established.
The community of Mount Hood is approximately 3 miles north of Parkdale.
It was named Mount Hood simply because the mountain was the most
important object on the landscape. In 1976, Parkdale and Mount
Hood were merged into one by the US Postal Service for the purpose
of
mail delivery.
