Note: Originally Hood River County was part of Wasco County, from which it separated June 23, 1908, and its boundaries are unchanged since the separation. You may need to look in Wasco County or the Oregon State Archives to find the records for which you're searching.

Thanks for stopping by, and good luck with your research!
