WE ARE OREGON CITY Oregon City, once known as Willamette Falls and the first capital of Oregon, is now a large industrial town with a booming population of 15,000. One person who played a major role in the develop- ment of Oregon City was john McLoughlin, who led other pioneers through the Willamette Valley before ending his adventure at the Falls. McLoughlin built a house for his Indian wife, two children, and three grandchildren. In 1857 when he died, very few people recognized his accomplish- ments. Not until later did he become known as the Father of Oregon. The history of our city is very long and full of pride. Anyone living in the city should realize that there is a lot more to Oregon City than just meets the eye. 1. View of the Oregon City Elevator, one of the city's more noticable landmarks. 2.
