- Native Americans
- Oregon History
- People have lived in what is now Oregon for thousands of years. Before the European explorers arrived, many Native American tribes inhabited the land such as the Chinook, the Klamath, and the Nez Perce.
- American Explorers
- In the 1500s, explorers such as Sir Francis Duke saw the Oregon coastline, but did not come to the land. Many years later in 1792, American explorer Captain Robert Gray came upon the Columbia River.
- Lewis and Clark
- In 1803, the United States signed the Louisiana Purchase, and bought a large region of land from the French. This land was mapped out by famous explorers Lewis and Clark, and they traveled all the way to the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Columbia River, where they built a small fort called Fort Clatsop.
- The Oregon Trail
- Becoming a State
- The Oregon Trail began in Independence, Missouri and ended in Oregon City. It stretched around 2,000 miles and had all sorts of rough terrain such as the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains. It was the major route that migrating people took to the western part of the US between 1841 and 1869.
- As Oregon continued to grow, it broke off from the other regions, and was admitted into statehood on February 14, 1859 as the 33rd state.
- The Nez Perce War
- The Nez Perce tribe was forced to move to a smaller reservation, and when gold was discovered on their reservation in 1863, they were told they had to move yet again. The tribe put up a fight and tried to flee to Canada, but were pursued by the U.S. Army, resulting in the Nez Perce War. Ultimately the Nez Perce tribe lost and was forced to move to Native American territory in Oklahoma.
