Description: Klamath Falls is a city in and the county seat of Klamath County, Oregon. The population was 20,840 at the 2010 census. The city is on the southeastern shore of the Upper Klamath Lake located about 246 miles northwest of Reno, Nevada, and approximately 17 miles north of the California-Oregon border. The Klamath and Modoc peoples were the first known inhabitants of the area. The Modocs’ homeland is about 20 miles south of Klamath Falls, but when they were forced onto a reservation with their adversaries, a rebellion ensued, and they hid out in nearby lava beds. This led to the “Modoc War of 1872-1873”. The “Applegate Trail”, which passes through the lower Klamath area. The first non-indigenous colonizer is considered to have been Wallace Baldwin, a 19-year-old civilian who drove fifty head of horses in the valley in 1852. In 1867, George Nurse named the small settlement “Linkville”, because of Link River north of Lake Ewauna. The name was changed to Klamath Falls in 1893. The “Klamath Reclamation Project” began in 1906 to drain marshland and move water to allow for agriculture. With the building of the main “A” Canal, water was first made available in 1907. Veterans of World War I and World War II were given homesteading opportunities on the reclaimed land. Timber harvesting through the use of railroad was extensive in Klamath County for the first few decades of the 20th century. With the arrival of the “Southern Pacific Transportation Company” in 1909, Klamath Falls grew quickly from a few hundred to several thousand. Dozens of lumber mills cut fir and pine lumber, and the industry flourished until the late 1980s.
