History

Linkville was founded along the lower end of the Link River on March 12, 1867, by pioneer settler George Nurse. By July of 1869, he had used timber to construct the first bridge linking one side of the river to the other. A steel bridge replaced the original bridge in 1885. On Feb. 6, 1893, Linkville was officially changed to Klamath Falls, 26 years after its establishment. Later bridges were built in the same spot in 1915 and 1931. Today, the trail along the west side provides opportunities for bird watching, fishing, bicycling, and strolling outdoors.
