Baker County, Administrative division in northeastern Oregon, United States
Baker County spans across mountains, forests, and valleys, containing the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area and sections of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area.
The county formed in 1862 from Wasco County territory and received its name from Senator Edward Dickinson Baker, who died during the Civil War.
The Oregon Trail heritage remains visible through preserved wagon ruts at Flagstaff Hill near Baker City, marking early settlers' westward migration routes.
The County Clerk's office at 1995 Third Street in Baker City processes marriage licenses, handles property records, and manages local elections.
The 1914 declaration of martial law in Copperfield by Fern Hobbs marked the first such action in Oregon since the Civil War period.
