AREA HISTORY

The land bears the marks of ancient geological events, particularly the Missoula Lake glacial floods, which sculpted the terrain and deposited the minerals that give Jasper Stone Hollow its name. These cataclysmic floods, occurring at the end of the last Ice Age, carved out deep valleys and created the unique topography that defines the area today.

For centuries, the native peoples of the Columbia Plateau, including the Klickitat tribe, inhabited the land. These indigenous communities lived in harmony with the land, relying on its abundant natural resources for sustenance. The Klickitat were known for their skilled horsemanship and extensive trade networks, which extended across the region and beyond.

The arrival of European settlers in the 19th century brought significant changes to the region. Goldendale, the nearby town, was established in the mid-1800s as a small farming and trading post. The town quickly grew, fueled by the promise of agriculture and the exploitation of natural resources. The region’s rich forests supported a thriving timber industry, while the fertile soil made it a prime location for farming and ranching.
