Harney
County has a land area of 10,141 square miles was formed in 1889 and was named
for William Shelby Harney who was apoointed to the command of the Department of
Oregon of the United States Army in 1858 and was recalled in 1859, for his
summary seizure of San Juan Island, from the Brittish. It was formed from the
southern part of Grant County so the area's history is much older. You may even
find that some of the records you need will still be in Grant County. More
