About a fifth of the county's residents live in the [[Greater Omak|Greater Omak Area]]. The county forms a portion of the [[Okanagan Country|Okanogan Country]]. The first county seat was [[Ruby, Okanogan County, Washington|Ruby]], which has now been a ghost town for more than 100 years.

Okanogan County was formed out of [[Stevens County, Washington|Stevens County]] in February 1888.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Washington State Archives – Central Regional Branch: Guide to Holdings: Okanogan County |url=http://www.cwu.edu/~archives/okn.htm#32400000 |access-date=December 31, 2007}}</ref> The name derives from the [[Okanagan language]] place name ''ukʷnaqín''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bright |first=William |author-link=William Bright |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5XfxzCm1qa4C&pg=PA346 |title=Native American placenames of the United States |publisher=University of Oklahoma Press |year=2004 |isbn=978-0-8061-3598-4 |page=346 |access-date=September 16, 2011}}</ref> The name Okanogan ([[Okanagan]]) also refers to a part of southern [[British Columbia]].

==History==
Before Europeans arrived, the Okanogan County region was home to numerous indigenous peoples that would eventually become part of three Indian reservations referred to as the Northern Okanogans or Sinkaietk, Tokoratums, Kartars and Konkonelps. They spoke in seven types of [[Interior Salish languages]] related to the [[Puget Sound]] tribes. The Okanogans experienced a favorable climate, camping in the winter, hunting bears in the spring, catching fish in the summer and hunting deer in fall. The camps consisted of teepee-like longhouses built with hides and bark. Women gathered nuts and berries. A popular destination for this was the [[Kettle Falls]], where the Columbia River dropped some {{convert|20|ft}}.

Due to its remoteness, the Okanogan County area was one of the last in Washington settled by Europeans. It was an early thoroughfare used by prospectors to gain access to other communities, such as [[British Columbia]]. By the 21st century, the region specialized in agriculture, forestry and tourism. Electric producer [[Grand Coulee Dam]] was constructed between 1933 and 1942, originally with two power plants, around the Okanogan and [[Grant County, Washington|Grant]] counties at the former's southern border.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Thumbnail History |url=http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=7608 |access-date=February 17, 2013 |publisher=[[HistoryLink]]}}</ref>

==Politics==
Okanogan County was once a national bellwether county in U.S. presidential elections, voting for the nationwide winner in each presidential election from 1904 to 1992. In fact, it became the longest-running national bellwether after [[Crook County, Oregon]], voted for [[George H. W. Bush]] in 1992. However, it has become a Republican-leaning county since 1996, when it voted for [[Bob Dole]], with the longest national bellwether status passing on to [[New Castle County, Delaware]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nwprogressive.org/weblog/2020/12/loss-of-a-presidential-bellwether-for-decades-okanogan-county-telegraphed-washingtons-allegiance-in-federal-elections-not-anymore.html|title=Loss of a presidential bellwether: For decades, Okanogan County telegraphed Washington's allegiance in federal elections.
