Gillam County History and General Information
Established: Feb. 25, 1885
"County Quick Facts" (from U.S. Census Bureau)
County Map (from ODOT)
Gilliam County was established in 1885 from a portion of Wasco County and was named after Col. Cornelius Gilliam, a veteran of the Cayuse Indian War. The first county seat was at Alkali, now Arlington. At the general election of 1890, voters chose to move the county seat to Condon, known to early settlers as “Summit Springs.” A brick courthouse was built in Condon in 1903 but was destroyed by fire in 1954. The present courthouse, built on the same site, was constructed in 1955.
