This category includes articles related to the history of theOregon Country in thePacific Northwest ofNorth America, from first U.S. and British settlement in the area in the late 18th century up through the establishment of theOregon Territory in 1848. The area includes the present-day states ofOregon,Washington,Idaho and westernMontana andWyoming, as well as theCanadian province ofBritish Columbia.
Most articles relate to the pre-Oregon Treaty (1846) area but some involve the aftermath and consequences of that treaty. Articles relating to the Oregon Country in its guise as the Hudson's Bay Company'sColumbia District, or to British exploration and claims and other activities, may also be included, as the Columbia District and Oregon Country were more or less the same in area. Therefore, locations, events and people in British Columbia will be listed as well as those that were in areas then conceived of as the Oregon Country, e.g.New Caledonia andFort Kamloops.
