"Jefferson County was established in
1914 from a portion of Crook County and named for Mount Jefferson on
its western boundary. The county owes much of its agricultural
prosperity to the railroad, which arrived in 1911, and to the
development of irrigation projects in the late 1930s. The railroad,
which links Madras with the Columbia River, was completed after
constant feuds and battles between two lines working on opposite
sides of the Deschutes River."
