Yakima County is located in southern Washington state. It is named after the Yakama tribe of Native Americans. Yakima is the county seat and its largest city. Carved out of Ferguson County in 1865, the county covers an area of 4,311 square miles, which is larger than the area of Delaware and Rhode Island states combined. Spanning nearly 36% of the country’s area, Yakama Indian Reservation is the 15th largest reservation in the US. Toppenish is the most populous settlement in this reservation.

The Yakima River Valley is known for apple, wine, and hop production. The Yakima Valley American Viticultural Area produces more than 40% of the state’s wine. The Yakima Valley Museum chronicles the region’s natural and cultural history. The Central Washington State Fair is held annually in Yakima. With an elevation of 3,743 meters, Mount Adams is the highest point in Yakima County. Interstate 82, US 12, and US 97 are primary highways in the county. Fort Simcoe Historical State Park, White Pass Ski Area, Franklin Park, and Teapot Dome Service Station are popular attractions in the region.
