Named for W. H. Biggs, a landowner who came to Sherman County from Ohio in 1880, this community also is known as Biggs Junction, because it is located at the intersection of highways U.S.-97 and I-84. Possible side trips: crossing the Columbia River to visit Maryhill Museum of Art; watching nearby windsurfers; walking a portion of the Oregon Trail between Hwy. 206 and Biggs; heading east to see the John Day Dam.
