Community Information:
The City of Tulelake was established in 1937 in anticipation of City
services needed to expand the Federal Government’s Bureau of Reclamation
Irrigation Projects for the development of Klamath and Tule Lake Basin
farm grounds. After World War II, a land lottery was held for Veterans who won
80 and 160 acres for field preparation and cultivation for potatoes, onions,
horseradish, mint, alfalfa, grain, and most recently, strawberry and
raspberry plants. Essentially, the City of Tulelake was “Built by Veterans.”
Thus, Tulelake started to boom, attracting local businesses and providing
services for farmers and their families. The city is also known as the
“Gateway to the Lava Beds” or the “Gateway to Adventure.” Today, still an
agricultural community, the town continues to be supported by businesses and
services for the farmers, duck and goose hunters, and tourists visiting
the Klamath and Tule Lake Wildlife Refuges, the Lava Beds National
Monument, and Medicine Lake. Another attraction in the vicinity is
the Siskiyou County Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair, which occurs the second
weekend in September. A local historical museum is housed at the Fairgrounds
office and is open during the Summer from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm and during the
winter from 9:00 am until 4:00 or by appointment. Stop in and enjoy some of the
rural elements only a country town offers!
Tulelake, California, is conveniently located just a short
30-minute drive from the vibrant city of Klamath Falls, OR. This close
proximity makes Tulelake an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful
retreat from the bustling city life.
