Joseph is a historic town at the north end of Wallowa Lake. It was known by a couple of names but in 1880 settled on Joseph, for Nez Perce Chief Joseph. The Wallowa Valley was the home of Wallowa band of the Nez Perce which Joseph led. Chief Joseph's father, Old Chief Joseph, is buried in a native graveyard at the edge of town.
