Hood River (originally called Dog River) post office was established (named by Mary Coe) at the site of the present city on September 30, 1858,[7] and the city itself was incorporated in 1895.[8] Originally, the city was part of Wasco County, but it became the seat of Hood River County when the county was first established in 1908.[9]

Hood River County (population 22,000) lies midway between the moist rain forest climate of Cascade Locks and the arid desert air of The Dalles. The Columbia River Gorge has federally protected status as a National Scenic Area. Its steep walls, coupled with a rapid average temperature change along this corridor, force strong winds to blow year-round through Hood River and give it its legitimate claim as the windsurfing capital of the world.
