City History
|
Scappoose was a
meeting place of the Chinook Indians. They held annual
PowWows with feasts, trading, and horse racing. The area
was prime hunting grounds with herds for elk and deer
and the rivers supplied spawning beds for salmon.
In 1828, Thomas McKay, stepson of John McLoughlin, the
commander of Fort Vancouver was the first nonnative
inhabitant. On the orders of McLoughlin, McKay found
grasslands in Scappoose for the expanding herd of horses
that the fort up the river needed. McKay established a
home ranch and married a Chinook princess the daughter
of Chief Concomley the highest ranking Chinook Indian
Chief.
In 1929, the plague was brought by Captain Dominus who
sailed his ship “The Owyhee” into Scappoose Bay. The
Indians died in flocks because of no resistance to the
plague. The first wagon train came in 1842. The first
organized school came in 1853. By 1863, the Columbia
River was a much traveled trade route for people and
goods. In 1869, the transcontinental railroad was
completed. In 1921 a charter was developed and became
the City of Scappoose. |
