HISTORY....

Prior to official status in 1882 and long before the Great Migration in 1843, indigenous people were attracted to the easy life of southern Oregon in the Klamath Basin. Adapted to the marsh and riverine environment, the Klamath and Modoc cultures thrived. Immigrants began to arrive and the Oregon volunteers established Fort Klamath in 1863. The town of Linkville was platted along a short river linking two large lakes. In 1893, the name was changed to Klamath Falls.

The coming of the railroad in 1909 changed the economic climate. A means to ship goods was provided and the region developed its timber and agricultural resources rapidly. Today, unlimited recreational activities abound. Mountains, lakes, streams, and the high desert offer experiences ranging from mountain biking to fly-fishing. Cultural activities proliferate in theaters, museums, and historical attractions. A progressive community, Klamath Falls has an active downtown redevelopment program. A community action plan was developed and published in 1992 to set goals through 2002. Hundreds of local citizens participated.
