| Tulelake has a rich history, with evidence of Native American occupation dating back over 10,000 years. In the 20th century, the area became an important agricultural center, with farmers growing crops such as potatoes, onions, and alfalfa. During World War II, Tulelake was the site of an internment camp where thousands of Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated and detained. Today, the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fairgrounds, which was originally built as part of the internment camp, hosts an annual fair and other events. In addition to its agricultural and historical significance, Tulelake is also a gateway to several nearby natural attractions, including the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges and the Lava Beds National Monument. | |
