Today, August 14th, marks a significant date in Oregon history as it was on this day in 1848 that the Oregon Territory was officially created by the United States Congress
Prior to this, the region had been under a period of joint occupation by both the United States and Great Britain, a situation resolved by the Oregon Treaty in June 1846. However, the formal establishment of the territory only occurred after news of the Whitman massacre reached Congress, providing the necessary impetus.
The newly formed Oregon Territory encompassed a much larger area than present-day Oregon, including all of what is now Idaho, Washington, and parts of Montana and Wyoming.
