Time in Oregon

Common card · No. 480216

Time in Oregon is divided into two zones, with the vast majority in the Pacific Time Zone. Most of sparsely populated Malheur County, including its largest city, Ontario, and its county seat, Vale, are in the Mountain Time Zone due to their proximity to Boise, Idaho. The time zone division occurs at the southwest corner of township 35 S, range 37 E (approximately 42.597 degrees north latitude), continuing east to the state line, then south along the Oregon–Idaho border to the Nevada state line. In 2019, the Oregon Senate passed a bill that would put the state (except Malheur County) on year-round daylight saving time, effectively moving Oregon full time to Mountain Standard Time (UTC−7). The bill has not yet been considered by the Oregon House of Representatives. Similar proposals have been approved in Washington and California; all would need approval of the U.S. Congress.
