Oregon Pioneer History

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oregon Pioneer History (1806 to 1890) is the time in the European History of Oregon when pioneers and mountain men traveled west to explore and settle the lands west of the Rocky Mountains and north of California. The period begins after the Lewis and Clark Expedition to Oregon Country and runs until circa 1890 when railroads and urban centers created a more settled state.
