== History ==
In 1909, R. H. Hovey bought of timberland on the east shore of Upper Klamath Lake in Klamath County, Oregon. That was the beginning of the Algoma Lumber Company. In 1912, Hovey built a large sawmill with a capacity to mill 100,000 board-feet (236 m3) of lumber per shift. Since the mill ran two shifts per day, the mill's daily production capacity was 200,000 board-feet (472 m3). The company grew rapidly. By the end of its first year, the mill and its logging operations employed about 200 workers. To accommodate the workforce, the company platted the Algoma townsite.〔Gaston, Joseph, ("R. H. Hovey" ), ''The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912'' (Vol. 4), Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago, Illinois, p. 873.〕
Algoma post office opened in 1912.〔 The town of Algoma had a population of 400 in 1919 and grew to 600 by 1931.〔Carlson, Linda, ("Algoma, Klamath County, Oregon" ), ''Company towns of the Pacific Northwest'', University of Washington Press, Seattle, Washington, 2003.〕 In 1943, the post office closed.〔 Today, Algoma is no longer recognized as a specific census data collection area so there is no current census information on the community.
