Rieth is an unincorporated community in Umatilla County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is south of Interstate 84/U.S. Route 30/U.S. Route 395 about 5 miles (8 km) west of Pendleton near the Umatilla River.[2]
Rieth was an important division point of the Oregon–Washington Railroad and Navigation Company, which named the station at the new shops and terminals it constructed there after a local pioneer family, the Rieths.[3][4] The railway's Pilot Rock Line, constructed in 1907, joined the mainline in Rieth.[5][6] This line was once the Umatilla Central Railroad.[5] In 1917, the Post Office Department established an office named "Reith".[4] The name was soon corrected by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[4] The post office closed in 1971.[4] The main railroad yards, now owned by Union Pacific, were later moved to Hinkle.[4]
In 1922, Rieth had a population of 200, a school, a store, and other businesses.[3] In 1940 Rieth had a population of 45.[7]
