Deschutes County is one of the 36 counties in the U.S. state of Oregon. As of the 2010 census, the population was 157,733. The county seat is Bend. The county was created in 1916 out of part of Crook County and was named for the Deschutes River, which itself was named by French-Canadian trappers of the early 19th century. It is the political and economic hub of Central Oregon. Deschutes comprises the Bend, OR Metropolitan Statistical Area. Deschutes is Oregon’s fastest-growing county.
French-Canadian fur trappers of the Hudson's Bay Company gave the name Riviere des Chutes to the Deschutes River, from which the county derived its name.
