Clackamas County Circuit Court, Fifth Judicial District, one of the 27 judicial districts in the Oregon Judicial Department. The existing courthouse was completed in 1937, and at the time of its dedication, there was only one Circuit Court Judge. Initially all of the county offices except the Roads Department were housed in the courthouse. Over the years as the need for judicial space grew all of the county offices except the District Attorney and the Civil Division of the Sheriff eventually moved out of the courthouse to make room for building renovations that created ten more courtrooms.

Curry County - In 1852 explorers discovered gold and other precious metals in the rivers and along the beaches of this area. As a result, settlement in the county was concentrated along the coast, depending primarily on water transportation. The slow development of inland transportation routes kept the county relatively isolated well into the twentieth century. While there is still some mining of cobalt, nickel, and chromium in the Gasaquet Mountain area, the economy has reoriented to agriculture and timber. Port Orford cedar (also known as Lawson's Cypress) and myrtlewood are important export products.

Originally, the county seat was in the town of Alkali (present day Arlington) but it was moved to Condon in 1890 where it remains today. Gilliam County is in the Columbia Basin wheat area. As such, it is an agricultural community with an emphasis on growing wheat, barley, and raising beef cattle.

Harney County initially was part of Grant County, but the distance to the county seat in Canyon City, several days away by horse, influenced many citizens to petition for a more locally based government. Supporters circulated a bill in the legislature as early as 1887, but it was not until February 1889 that the state created Harney County out of the southern two-thirds of Grant. Today Grant and Harney comprise the 24th Judicial District. Burns serves as the county seat for Harney with the current courthouse having been completed in 1942. Canyon City serves as the county seat for Grant with the current courthouse having been completed in 1952. The courthouses share a common architectural design.
