History
The Oroville Border Patrol Station opened in 1929 and was active with liquor smuggling activities throughout prohibition. The station was located at various locations in the Oroville area until it was re-located to its current location in 2013. Early records indicate the station was moved in 1967 from its original location to an apartment in downtown Oroville. It remained in an apartment building until construction of the new station was completed. The new state of the art facility features K9 kennels, helicopter landing pad, horse stables and an indoor horse arena.
