When did the European settlers arrive in Oregon
1 answer
The European settlers first arrived in Oregon in the early 19th century, with the Lewis and Clark expedition reaching the area in 1805. However, significant settlement by Europeans began in the 1830s, with the establishment of fur trading posts and missions. The Oregon Trail, a major migration route for settlers from the United States, was also established in the 1840s, leading to a large influx of settlers to the region.
