Crook County was not settled by emigrants until around 1870. The first organized public cemetery was started in that year at Prineville, soon followed by Mill Creek Cemetery in 1872. Seven more were created by the mid-I 890s. Crook County had livestock ranches and many families used family cemeteries.
