The first white permanent settlers in Oregon were primarily missionaries and trappers. While traders and farmers did come later, the earliest groups to establish a permanent presence in Oregon were the missionaries, who arrived in the 1830s, alongside fur trappers and traders who had been active in the region since the late 18th century. The Oregon Trail in the 1840s led to an influx of farmers looking for new land, but the initial permanent settlements were largely due to the efforts of missionaries and trappers.
