In 1792, Capt. Robert Gray, in the Columbia, discovered the river named after his ship and claimed the area for the U.S. In 1805 the Lewis and Clark expedition explored the area. John Jacob Astor's fur depot, Astoria, was founded in 1811. Disputes for control of Oregon between American settlers and the Hudson Bay Company were finally resolved in the 1846 Oregon Treaty, in which Great Britain gave up claims to the region» Admitted: Feb. 14, 1859 (33) Capital: Salem (148.751) Largest city: Portland 533.427 Population: 3.641.056 (2005) Nickname: Beaver State State Bird: Western meadowlark
