«Spanish and English sailors are believed to have sighted
the Oregon coast in the 1500s and 1600s. Capt. James Cook,
seeking the Northwest Passage, charted some of the coastline
in 1778. 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»
