==Economy==
Most of the economy of Oroville and the surrounding areas is based on agriculture.  Numerous orchards and a few grape vineyards are within the town limits. During Oroville's heyday as a mining town, many saloons, restaurants, shops, and a drive-in movie theater were there.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.drive-ins.com/theater/watorov|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141025025313/http://www.drive-ins.com/theater/watorov/pow-wow-drive-in-oroville-wa#.VEsQoPjP1qY|archive-date=2014-10-25|title=Pow Wow Drive-In Oroville}}</ref>  Today, the town's economy is depressed with a nearly 30% poverty rate and a median household income of only $22,000.
