County History
Harney
County has a land area of 10,141 square miles
was formed in 1889 and was named for William Shelby Harney
who was appointed to the command of the Department of Oregon
of the United States Army in 1858 and was recalled in 1859,
for his summary seizure of San Juan Island, from the
British. It was formed from the southern part of Grant
County so the area's history is much older. You may even
find that some of the records you need will still be in Grant County.
