sprague river, oregon -- garden fountain.Sprague River is an unincorporated community in Klamath County, Oregon, United States. It is about 45 miles northeast of Klamath Falls near the Sprague River. 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. His name was applied to the river by 1864, and perhaps earlier. The Klamath name for the stream was Plai or Plaikni Koke. Koke was the generic word for "river" and plai meant the river came from upper or higher country. Sprague River post office, named after the stream, was established September 14, 1923, with Benjamin E. Wolford as the first postmaster. At one time there was a sawmill in Sprague River, which shut down in 1943. There was also a box factory. see more at www.footeprintart.com
