== History ==
Native Americans occupied sites around what is now Gerber Reservoir for perhaps 6,400 years before the first European settlers arrived in the area. Ancient campsites have been found along the shore of Gerber Reservoir and in the surrounding area. Family bands of Klamath and Modoc peoples used these sites from early spring through fall for hunting, fishing, and plant gathering activities.〔(''Gerber Recreation Area'' ) (PDF), Lakeview District, Bureau of Land Management, United States Department of Interior, Lakeview, Oregon, 23 August 2005.〕〔Silvermoon, Jon Massoglia, ("The Gerber Reservoir Vicinity" ), ''Archaeological Investigations at the Peninsula Site, 35KL87, Gerber Reservoir, South-Central Oregon'', Cultural Resource Series Number 11, Bureau of Land Management, United States Department of Interior, Portland, Oregon, 1994, pp. 49–50.〕
Louis C. Gerber and his family were among the first whites to settle in the area. In the mid-1880s, Gerber used the Swamp Act to acquire along Miller Creek on the high plateau northeast of the Langell Valley. In 1895, he filed a homestead claim on an adjacent parcel. By 1915, Gerber had also purchased 20 abandoned homesteads in the same area. He consolidated all these properties into the Gerber Ranch. In 1923, Gerber sold to the United States Government. This area was flooded when the Bureau of Reclamation completed the Miller Creek impoundment dam in June 1925. Both the dam and the reservoir it created were named in his honor.〔McArthur, Lewis A. and Lewis L.

During World War II, the island in the middle of Gerber Reservoir was used as a United States military bombing range.〔〔Ostertag, Rhonda and George Ostertag, ''Camping Oregon'' (third edition), Morris Book Publishing, 2013, Kearney, Nebraska, pp. 240-241.〕 Today, ospreys and pelicans nest on the island.〔
