Description
In 1829 Dr. John McLoughlin laid claim to some land near Willamette Falls by making a number of improvements on it. He said that he believed this locality was 'destined by nature to become the best place for commerce in the country'. As time went on a number of settlers located there. The city was platted and named, by Dr. McLoughlin, 'Oregon City,' and became incorporated under the laws of the Provisional Government in 1844. This picture was probably taken around 1845, when the population did not exceed five hundred and when Portland was just a convenient camping place between Fort Vancouver and Oregon City.
