Oregon mapOregon was first spotted by Spanish sailors in the 1500's, but it was only in 1792 when Captain Robert Gray, in the Columbia, discovered the river named after his ship and claimed the area for the U.S.

From then on, American settlers began populating the territory, including a settlement by millioniare John Jacob Astor who established a fur trading post, Astoria, in 1811.

However, disputes over Oregon territory continued between the US. and British-controlled Canada, when the Oregon Treaty transferred total control of the region from Great Britain to the U.S. in 1846.

Today, major scenic Oregon vacation spots are found all along the Columbia River area and include Crater Lake National Park and Mount Hood with a multitude of opportunities for spring river rafting.

Other popular summer travel attractions include Oregon Coast driving tours along U.S. Highway 101, Oregon Caves National Monument, Hells Canyon, and Newberry Volcanic National Monument plus a variety of annual summer fairs & festivals.
