I n the 1840s pioneers from the East Coast border states and merchants traveling by ship from New England began to increase the Oregon population, leading to the creation of the Oregon Territory in 1848 and statehood in 1859. Phillips T his is a website for sharing historical and genealogical information about the state of Oregon. I would be very happy to link to any website yo u have, or know about, which deals with these subjects.
Any topic is acceptable as long as it deals with Oregon's history or genealogy.
