Oregon City

Set along the Willamette River at Willamette Falls, Oregon City is a place whose character is shaped by the river’s force and its long role in regional industry. The falls powered mills that helped establish the town as an important early settlement in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon City was the first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains and served as the capital of the Oregon Territory from 1849 to 1851. It is also closely tied to the Oregon Trail, whose emigrants commonly ended their journey here. The historic Oregon City Municipal Elevator links the lower riverfront with the bluff above.
