Redmond History Oregon had been a state for 45 years by the time Frank and Josephine Redmond pitched the first homestead tent near the area that would later be named after them. Frank and Josephine chose to homestead near a canal right-of-way and a projected rail line, which also interested investors who saw profit in the establishment of a town in the area. By 1910, when Redmond was incorporated, the population had reached 216 and the downtown was lined with commercial storefronts.
