Please select a county: clickable map index
Information about the individual county histories and
links:
The individual county histories trace the establishment
and evolution of each of the 36 county governments in
Oregon. The histories include information concerning the
creation and naming of the county; designation of county
boundaries; location of the county seat; construction of the
county courthouse; development of the county government; and
description of the major industrial geographical,
demographic, or historical features of the county.
Each county listed includes a courthouse address; clerk and trial court phone numbers; a map of Oregon showing the county's location; and an image of the courthouse. A "FunFact" for each county helps to interpret its history, geography, or other interesting feature. Links to county Web sites and scenic images are included as well.
