Selected newspaper articles relating to
Wasco County History
Unless otherwise noted, all articles and stories on the following pages were submitted by myself.

The following newspaper articles were found while gathering information for my Klickitat County, WA., Genealogy website.
I realize that these articles hardly comprise the entire history of this area, but these are all I have typed at this time. If nothing else, the articles make for interesting reading, and might contain information useful to someone's family research.
I'm sorry, but I have NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION about any of the persons or families mentioned in these articles. Please use the resources of the ORGenWeb's Wasco County website for research assistance.
