  • Historical Overview
    HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT The following is a brief history of Oregon City. The intent is to provide a general overview, rather than a comprehensive history. Setting Oregon City, the county seat of Clackamas County, is located southeast of Portland on the east side of the Willamette River, just below the falls. Its unique topography includes three terraces, which rise above the river, creating an elevation range from about 50 feet above sea level at the riverbank to more than 250 feet above sea level on the upper terrace. The lowest terrace, on which the earliest development occurred, is only two blocks or three streets wide, but stretches northward from the falls for several blocks. Originally, industry was located primarily at the south end of Main Street nearest the falls, which provided power. Commercial, governmental and social/fraternal entities developed along Main Street north of the industrial area. Religious and educational structures also appeared along Main Street, but tended to be grouped north of the commercial core. Residential structures filled in along Main Street, as well as along the side and cross streets. As the city grew, the commercial, governmental and social/fraternal structures expanded northward first, and with time eastward and westward to the side and cross streets. Before the turn of the century, residential neighborhoods and schools were developing on the bluff. Some commercial development also occurred on this middle terrace, but the business center of the city continued to be situated on the lower terrace. Between the 1930s and 1950s, many of the downtown churches relocated to the bluff as well.

Smith A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Thesis Committee: William L. Lang, Chair David A. Horowitz David A. Johnson Barbara A. Brower Portland State University ©2011 ABSTRACT This thesis examines how the pursuit of commercial gain affected the development of agriculture in western Oregon’s Willamette, Umpqua, and Rogue River Valleys. The period of study begins when the British owned Hudson’s Bay Company began to farm land in and around Fort Vancouver in 1825, and ends in 1861—during the time when agrarian settlement was beginning to expand east of the Cascade Mountains. Given that agriculture

Dollar Amount and $0 – Supported by Appraisal Fiscal Impact Funding Source Not applicable Duration In perpetuity. Previous Board None Action/Review Strategic Plan Build public trust through good government Alignment Build a strong infrastructure Ensure safe, healthy and secure communities County Counsel Nate Boderman – 503-655-8364 Contact Person Dan Johnson, Transportation and Development – Director 503-742-4325 BACKGROUND: Since the devastating flooding in February 1996 of the County’s property at 902 Abernethy Road in Oregon City, Clackamas County has been working to relocate all operations housed at that facility. At one time the site was the primary location for Water Environment Services (formerly the Utilities Department) and the Department of Transportation Development Services / Transportation Maintenance; currently the site houses a dilapidated office building, Clackamas County Fleet Services, Vector Control, Sheriff’s Office Fleet Operations and the Transportation Maintenance Division. The dilapidated office building, commonly referred to as the Utilities Building, was constructed and owned by Clackamas County Service District #1 (CCSD #1), and subsequently transferred to Water Environment Services (WES), although the County retained title to the real property on which the building was situated. The Utilities Building has not been used by CCSD #1 or WES for over a decade.

  • Beaver Money
    Beaver Money Readers should feel free to use information from the website, however credit must be given to this site and to the author of the individual articles. Over fifty-eight thousand dollars in gold coin was minted in Oregon City by the Oregon Exchange Company in 1849 and is known as Beaver money.1 The coins earned their name from the image of a beaver which was impressed on the obverse side of each coin. The production of these five and ten dollar pieces had the approval of both Oregon’s provisional legislature and George Abernethy the provisional governor.2 Unfortunately, the minting of this specie was problematic even from the outset. Beaver money finds its origin in the aftermath of the California Gold Rush when hundreds of miners returned to Oregon bearing gold dust. Estimates put the value of the gold in Oregon at over two million dollars.3 The gold was not fungible, which is to say that it was hard to accurately weigh loose dust on scales that were not uniform - the gold needed to be minted in a solid recognizable form of consistent weight. Store owners were accused of rigging their scales to give them more than an ounce, and customers were sometimes guilty of mixing yellow sand in with gold to trick proprietors.4 Uncertainty about the purity of transaction gold placed the dust’s value at anywhere from ten to sixteen dollars an ounce depending upon the store owner’s decision. 5 Joseph Lanes arrival as the first governor of the recently established Oregon Territory threw a wrench into the legislature’s plan.

III “LIKE NUGGETS FROM A GOLD MINE” SEARCHING FOR BRICKS AND THEIR MAKERS IN „THE OREGON COUNTRY‟ Thesis by Kristin O. Converse ABSTRACT Purpose of the Study: The history of the Pacific Northwest has favored large, extractive and national industries such as the fur trade, mining, lumbering, fishing and farming over smaller pioneer enterprises. This multi-disciplinary study attempts to address that oversight by focusing on the early brickmakers in „the Oregon Country‟. Using a combination of archaeometry and historical research, this study attempts to make use of a humble and under- appreciated artifact – brick – to flesh out the forgotten details of the emergence of the brick industry, its role in the shifting local economy, as well as its producers and their economic strategies. Procedure: Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis was performed on 89 red, common bricks archaeologically recovered from Fort Vancouver and 113 comparative samples in an attempt to „source‟ the brick.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.

  • Oregon City by Val Ballestrem Oregon City Was the First Incorporated City West of the Rocky Mountains and a Main Terminus of the Oregon Trail
    Oregon City By Val Ballestrem Oregon City was the first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains and a main terminus of the Oregon Trail. Its historic center is along the east bank of the Willamette River, at the base of Willamette Falls. Oregon City is the seat of Clackamas County government and is known for its one-of-a-kind municipal elevator, the McLoughlin House, early hydroelectric power, and its pulp and paper and woolen mills. For thousands of years, the area below Willamette Falls was home to the Clackamas Indians and was an important gathering place and fishing center. Salmon, steelhead, and lamprey in the river attracted Native fishers, including the Multnomah, Wasco, Tualatin, and Molala, who traded with the Clackamas for fish and fishing rights. White fur trappers first explored the area near Willamette Falls in 1811. After the British-Canadian Hudson’s Bay Company in 1824 established Fort Vancouver, about twenty-five miles to the north on the Columbia River, Chief Factor John McLoughlin showed interest in land at the base of the falls. In 1829, he claimed two square miles at the site and built three houses and a millrace, establishing the first permanent white settlement in the Willamette Valley. McLoughlin encouraged white traders, missionaries, and emigrants to settle in the valley, and some set up residence at Willamette Falls, strengthening the American presence there. He platted the town of Willamette Falls in 1842, and Oregon’s Provisional Government incorporated it as Oregon City two years later. The early town was built on a strip of land between Willamette Falls and Abernethy Creek to the north, the Willamette River to the west, and Singer Hill Bluff, rising one hundred feet or more, to the east.
