Wallowa County, located in the northeastern part of the great state of Oregon, has a rich history that can be traced back to the native Nez Perce people. The county was established on February 11, 1887, and covers an area of around 3,152 square miles. The name "Wallowa" is derived from a Nez Perce word, Wale.ama, which translates to "the winding river," likely referring to the Wallowa River that flows through the region.

Before the arrival of European-American settlers, the Wallowa Valley was home to the Wal-lam-wat-kin band of the Nez Perce tribe. They lived a peaceful life based on hunting, fishing, and gathering besides developing agricultural practices. However, in the 1870s, disputes over land and resources between the native Nez Perce and incoming settlers culminated in the Nez Perce War of 1877, forcing the tribe to leave their homeland.

The late 19th century saw the construction of the Wallowa Lake Tramway, which aided in the development of the region's timber industry. In the 20th century, Wallowa County became an important agricultural area, including livestock rearing, predominantly cattle and sheep.

One fun fact about Wallowa County is that it is home to the Wallowa Lake Monster, a local legend similar to Scotland's Loch Ness Monster. This mythical serpent-like creature is said to inhabit the depths of the glacially-formed Wallowa Lake, adding an extra layer of mystique to the region's fascinating history.
