Okanogan County, located in the north-central part of Washington state, was established on February 2, 1888, and has a rich and varied history. It is bordered by the Canadian Okanagan region to the north, and it is one of the largest counties in Washington, spanning over 5,300 square miles. The name "Okanogan" is derived from the Syilx'tsn word "ukwnaqin," which means "people living near a place where water comes up from the ground."
The region was first inhabited thousands of years ago by various indigenous tribes, including the Salish speaking people, who traditionally engaged in fishing, hunting, and gathering. European fur traders began to explore the area in the early 19th century. The famous explorer David Thompson explored the region in 1811 leading a Hudson Bay Fur Trading Brigade.
In the mid-19th century, gold was discovered in the area, attracting a large influx of miners and prospectors. The growth of the mining industry led to an increase in population, the establishment of local settlements, and a growing demand for agricultural products. This, in turn, encouraged farming and irrigation throughout the county.
In the early 20th century, the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River played a significant role in the economic development of Okanogan County. The project provided a reliable water source for irrigation that allowed the agricultural industry to flourish. Today, Okanogan County is known for its diverse agricultural production which includes fruit orchards, cattle ranches, and vineyards.
A fun fact about Okanogan County is that it is home to the Loup Loup Ski Bowl, a small ski area maintained by volunteers, where visitors can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and Nordic sports.
