Klamath Falls, Oregon
Klamath Falls ( ) (Klamath: ʔiWLaLLoonʔa) is a city in and the county seat of Klamath County, Oregon, United States. The city was originally called ''Linkville'' when George Nurse founded the town in 1867. It was named after the Link River, on whose falls the city was sited. The name was changed to Klamath Falls in 1893.〔(History of Klamath Falls ) The City of Klamath Falls webpage. Accessed 28 May 2014.〕 The population was 20,840 at the 2010 census. The city is situated on the south east shore of the Upper Klamath Lake and about north of the California-Oregon border.
The Klamath Falls area had been inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent settlers. The Klamath Basin became part of the Oregon Trail with the opening of the Applegate Trail. Logging was Klamath Falls' first major industry.
==Etymology==
After its founding in 1867, Klamath Falls was originally named Linkville.〔McArthur, p. 580〕 The name was changed to Klamath Falls in 1892–93.〔McArthur, p. 541〕 The name ''Klamath'' ,〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student’s Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 which may be a variation from the descriptive native for "people" (Chinookan ) comes from the name that the indigenous peoples of the Northwest Plateau referred to the region.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=World Wisdom online library )〕 Several locatives derived from the Modoc or Achomawi: ''lutuami'', lit: "lake dwellers", ''móatakni'', "tule lake dwellers", respectively, could have also led to spelling variations that ultimately made the word as it is currently pronounced. No evidence suggests that the name is from Klamath origin. The Klamath themselves called the region as ''Yulalona'' or ''Iwauna'', which referred to the phenomenon of the Link River flowing upstream when the south wind blew hard.
The Klamath name for the Link River white water falls was ''Tiwishkeni,'' or "where the falling waters rush".〔(Name of Tiwishkeni )〕 It was this Link River white water phenomenon from which "Falls" was added to Klamath in its name. In reality it's best described as rapids rather than falls and are visible a short distance below the Link River Dam, where the water flow is generally insufficient to provide water flow over the river rocks.
