Lake County is located in the south-central region of Oregon and was established on October 24, 1874. The county was formed from the southern portion of Wasco County and the western part of Grant County. The county was named after the numerous large lakes found within its borders, such as Lake Abert and Summer Lake.

The history of Lake County goes back thousands of years, as it has been inhabited by various Native American tribes, mainly the Klamath, Modoc, and Paiute tribes. In the 1820s, European-American fur trappers, including Peter Skene Ogden and his fur brigade, were the first Euro-Americans to explore the area. Over time, the territory saw an influx of settlers due to the appealing landscape and resources found in the region.

During the 1840s and 1850s, Lake County became a significant stop along the Applegate Trail, which was an alternative to the Oregon Trail. Fort Rock Cave, in northern Lake County, is an important archaeological site as it contains evidence of human occupation dating back as far as 11,000-13,000 years ago.

In the 1860s, extensive discoveries of gold deposits in the area attracted miners, leading to a population boom. The county's economy has historically been driven by agriculture, mining, and timber. Notable towns within the region include Lakeview, Paisley, and Adel.

Fun Fact: Each year, Lake County is home to the annual Oregon's Outback Living History event, known as the Mosquito Festival. During the festival, participants embrace the pioneer spirit and engage in historical reenactments, living history camps, and various recreational activities to celebrate and learn about the region's rich history.
