The series begins in 1899, as Pendleton heads into a new century and an era as a booming, bustling city. During the early 1900s, Pendleton was considered a modern, progressive town, despite a wild west reputation. In addition to 18 bordellos and 32 saloons, Pendleton offered residents such cultured experiences as an opera house, a French restaurant, and a tea room. It was the second city in Oregon to have paved streets and boasted a telephone office as well as wonders like indoor plumbing to those who could afford the services. Servicing a huge region in Eastern Oregon, it was an entertainment hub, shipping center, and so much more, especially with the millions of bushels of wheat and pounds of wool produced in the area. While the town didn't lack for colorful characters, those portrayed in the Pendleton Petticoats series are purely fictional. Coming from a variety of backgrounds, the series showcases women from all walks of life who find their courage and persevere in chasing their dreams.
