The discovery and development of the Santiam Pass in the 1860s made development of the area much easier.
The economy of the county is based on agriculture and forestry. Agriculture is supported by the development of irrigation districts, which permits the raising of hay, grain, mint, potatoes, and seed.
Range and forestlands allow grazing for a sizable livestock industry.
