City History
|
| Oregon City is the
oldest incorporated city west of the Rockies. It was
established in 1829 and was incorporated in 1844. It
first became the home to fur traders and missionaries.
Since it was the end of the Oregon Trail, it became the
final destination for many early immigrants. Prior to
settlement, the area was a focal point for fishing and
trade among the N Indians. Smallpox, cholera and other
diseases introduced by early explorers killed the
tribes. After the remnants of the tribes were relocated
to the Grand Ronde reservation, they became extinct. In
1850 when the first steamboat on the Willamette River,
the "Lot Whitcomb," was built a new industry developed.
Agriculture increased as it could be shipped to other
places. Because the falls initially required the
movement of freight from one ship to another,
shipbuilding enterprises developed above the falls and
below the falls. With the railroads there was more
industrial growth between 1866 to 1883. |
