Each of you who reads this col­
umn and lives in the present states,
of Oregon, Washington or Idaho
is a resident in what was once the
gigantic geographical area known
as the “Oregon Country.” But
there was more to it than that.
The vast territory stretched all
the way from the 42nd parallel in
the south (present boundary be­
tween Oregon and California-Ne­
vada) to the southern boundary of
the Russian settlements of that
day: 54-40 degrees north. This
would be between present-day
Prince Rupert, B.C., and Kethikan,
Alaska. The Oregon Country was
bounded on the west by the Pa­
cific ocean and on the east by the
Rockies. So it is that whether you
readers are in Bellingham, in the
northern reaches of Washington;
or in Empire, down on the Oregon
coast; or in Astoria, at the mouth
of the Columbia; or in Lewiston,
where the Snake and Clearwater
rivers flow together as they sweep
out of the northern Idaho moun­
tains—in all these places and in
many more, you are in what was
known as the “Oregon Country.”
In fact, this is the geographical
and historical unity that binds all
our PAGES FROM OUR PAST
stories together.
It is of interest to note the very
first attempt to divide the Oregon
Country into politicial units. It
happened as a result of the form­
ing of the Provisional government
in 1843 at Champoeg, just across
the Willamette river and down­
stream from Newberg, Oregon.
When the embryonic government
was formed, it was decided to di­
vide the great territory into four
districts: Twality, Clackamas,
Yamhill and Champooick. All of
these were Indian names and sub­
ject to variations in spelling, the
above being the actual spelling
used in the documents of the Pro­
visional government.
Why don’t you get out a map of
North America, or—if you have it
—one of just our Pacific North­
west including British Columbia?
We’ll try to delineate for you the
boundaries cf these ancestors of
our northwest counties one by one:
TWALITY DISTRICT was de­
scribed thus: “First district, to be
called Twality district, comprising
all the country south of the north­
ern boundary line of the United
States, west to the Willamette, or
Multnomah, River, north of the
Yamhill River, and east of the Pa­
cific Ocean.” “Approved by the
psople July 5, 1843.” So extend a
line directly north of where the
Willamette joins the Columbia
through Washington and B.C. all
the way to 54-40: that would be
the eastern boundary. The district
included most of the Olympic pe­
ninsula, all of Vancouver island,
and a hugs hunk of British Colum­
bia.
YAMHILL DISTRICT embrac­
ed “all the country west of the
Willamette, or Multnomah, River
and a supposed line running north
and south from said river, south of
the Yamhill river to the parallel of
42 degrees north latitude, or the
boundary line of the United States
and California, and east of the Pa-
