Lakeview

Lakeview

      town, seat (1876) of Lake county, southern Oregon, U.S., north of Goose Lake. It was founded in 1876 along Antelope Creek, on a former cattle ranch that contained several alkali lakes. Earlier settlement had been discouraged by Indian attacks that subsided in 1871 with the establishment of Indian reservations. Lakeview was destroyed by fire in 1900 but was rebuilt soon after. It is the headquarters of Fremont National Forest and the trading centre for a vast conservation and livestock area. Several recreation areas, with activities ranging from water sports to snow skiing, are close by. Abert Rim, one of North America's largest exposed fault scarps, is 25 miles (40 km) north; “Old Perpetual,” a 40-foot (12-metre) geyser, is 2 miles (3 km) north; and Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, home to many pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, mule deer, and sage grouse, is about 40 miles (65 km) northeast. Inc. 1889. Pop. (1990) 2,526; (2000) 2,474.
