| Hello! My name is Beth (it's really
Elizabeth) Perry Johnston, your Hood River County Coordinator for
Oregon GenWeb. Although I now live in Newport, Oregon, I was born and
grew up in the Pine Grove area of Hood River County and retain a keen
interest
in its life and history.
Originally a part of Wasco County, Hood River County gained its political separation on June 23,1908 and its boundaries have remained unchanged to the present time. When doing research involving documents prior to the date Hood River became a county, you may find that the records you are searching for will be in Wasco County or the Oregon State Archives rather than in the Hood River County courthouse. In addition to giving helpful research leads, we would like to get as many Hood River County records as possible transcribed and online. If you would like to help, have any information to share, or have suggestions or links that you feel belong on these pages you can contact me via email. Please use "Hood River" as the subject heading of your email so I can identify it and get to it as soon as possible. Do check back with us often to see the changes here, and feel free to take advantage of the search feature found at the bottom of the right-hand column.

 Thanks
to the many people who have contributed information for this web site,
in September, 2006, the Hood River County page was named one of two
USGenWeb sites of the month. The award story in the USGenWeb
September Newsletter
gives several reasons for the award and specifically cites the
data-laden contributions by Jeffrey Bryant and Jeffrey Elmer. The story
about the award is midway through the Newsletter; If you're not up to
reading that far just search for the words Hood River. Thank you all! |
