History
The Sprague River was named for Captain Franklin B. Sprague, who participated in the Snake and Paiute Indian wars, and was in command of Fort Klamath in 1866.[2] His name was applied to the river by 1864, and perhaps earlier.[2] The Klamath name for the stream was Plai or Plaikni Koke.[2] Koke was the generic word for "river" and plai meant the river came from upper or higher country.[2] Sprague River post office, named after the stream, was established September 14, 1923, with Benjamin E. Wolford as the first postmaster.[2] There was an earlier post office named Sprague River farther east and upstream of the current community, at the site of the current town of Bly, Oregon[2]
Sprague River had a station on the Oregon, California and Eastern Railway,[2] which by 1927 reached from Klamath Falls to Bly.[3] A 1941 timetable lists Sprague River as the 12th stop east of Klamath Falls between East Switch Back and Beatty.[4] After 1990, the rail line near Sprague River became part of a rail trail, the OC&E Woods Line State Trail, managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.[3]
At one time there was a sawmill in Sprague River, which shut down in 1943. There was also a box factory.[5]
