Malheur County is located in the southeastern part of Oregon in the United States. Established on February 17, 1887, it was created from the southern portion of Baker County. The county seat is the city of Vale, and the largest city in the county is Ontario. The name "Malheur" is derived from the French word for "misfortune" or "tragedy," which reflects the region's early fur trappers' experiences with various challenges, such as hostile Native Americans and extreme weather conditions.

Malheur County covers an area of around 9,930 square miles, making it the second-largest county in Oregon. The county's topography encompasses a diverse mix of landscapes, including mountain ranges, the Owyhee River, the Snake River, and high-desert areas.

Historically, Malheur County saw the passage of many wagon trains in the 1840s as settlers traveled westward on the Oregon Trail. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, the area witnessed an influx of settlers attracted by gold, silver, and other mining opportunities, as well as ranching, agriculture, and timber harvesting.

Fun Fact: Malheur County is home to the Owyhee Reservoir, a 53-mile long artificial lake built in 1932, which offers recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. This reservoir is the longest in Oregon and a top draw for outdoor enthusiasts visiting the area.
