Why Vale Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Vale's place in history was secured long before the railroad arrived or the county courthouse was built. French-Canadian fur trappers were the first to establish a presence along the Malheur River in the early 1800s, and they likely gave the settlement its name. By 1853 a trading post was operating at the site, and by 1864 Johnathan Keeney had built a cabin and barn to shelter the steady flow of travelers moving through — many of them following what would become one of the most heavily trafficked routes in the American West, the corridor that US-20 and US-26 trace today. The railroad reached Vale in 1883, cementing its role as a regional shipping gateway, and four years later Vale was designated the seat of Malheur County — a title it still holds. Incorporated in 1889 and elevated to city status in 1905, Vale grew into the commercial and civic hub of one of Oregon's largest counties by geography, sustained by the potato and onion farms that have defined Malheur County's agricultural economy for generations.
As the county seat of a vast, rural Oregon county sitting 12 miles from the Idaho border, Vale has long occupied a connectivity gap that its civic importance doesn't reflect. CenturyLink's legacy infrastructure, satellite services like Starlink and HughesNet, and limited alternatives left residents and businesses without the broadband performance a county seat deserves. Anthem's 2025 tower upgrade changed that — the Vale tower now delivers fiber-fed advanced wireless at speeds from 500 Mbps to 1 Gbps, bringing the kind of high-speed internet that supports remote work, agricultural technology, and economic development to a community that serves as the beating heart of southeastern Oregon's largest county.
