Regional History 

This section of our website will be dedicated to the history of Central Oregon - a history as rich and vital as that of any area in the country.

One can just skim the surface or delve deeply into the history of the region as a whole, the history of the counties that comprise Central Oregon, and the history of its most interesting and prominent communities.

Links will be provided to historical society and museum websites as well as to the history sections of county and community websites throughout Central Oregon.

In addition, we will provide a "Suggested Reading" list that will include, among numerous other works, Gale Ontko's epic five-volume narrative, Thunder Over The Ochoco.
