The Rich History of Oregon City and Why We Love Serving This Community

The Rich History of Oregon City: Our Deep Connection to the Community

Oregon City, founded in 1829 by Dr. John McLoughlin, is known as the first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains. Nestled along the Willamette River, it has a storied past filled with pioneering spirit, industrial growth, and rich cultural heritage. As the county seat of Clackamas County, Oregon City has played a central role in the development of the Pacific Northwest.

A Historic Beginning

Oregon City became a focal point for the Oregon Trail’s settlers, marking the end of their arduous journey. The city’s historic district is filled with reminders of its early days, including landmarks like the Willamette Falls and the McLoughlin House. Many pioneers established their roots here, making Oregon City a pivotal location in American westward expansion.
