En 2008, 154 510 personnes résidaient dans la ville, qui s'étend au centre de la fertile vallée de la Willamette, l'une des régions agricoles les plus productives au monde. Le nom Salem est dérivé du mot hébreu « Shalom » et de l'arabe Salem qui signifie paix. Historiquement, Salem a eu pour surnom « Ville Cerise » en rapport aux festivals de cerises qui y avaient lieu périodiquement durant le siècle. Le nom amérindien de la région était Chemketa, lequel signifiait « lieu de rencontre ou de repos ». Il est préservé à travers le nom du Chemeketa Community College. Le premier établissement de colons dans la région fut la mission Jason Lee en 1840. En 1842 les missionnaires établirent l'Institut de l'Oregon à l'endroit qui allait devenir le centre de Salem. La mission fut dissoute en 1844 et le projet de ville établi. On ne sait pas avec certitude qui a choisi le nom de la ville mais il s'agirait soit du politicien David Leslie, originaire de Salem (Massachusetts), soit W. H. Willson qui dessina les plans de la ville entre 1850 et 1851. En 1851 Salem devint la capitale de l'État (qui était auparavant Oregon City), elle le devint de manière permanente dès 1855 (après Corvallis qui le fut la même année). Salem fut i...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Little Butte Creek (Rogue River) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Little Butte Creek begins in the Cascade Range near Mount McLoughlin and Brown Mountain. It flows generally west over approximately 17 miles (27 km) to its confluence with the Rogue River. There are two main forks of Little Butte Creek: the north fork and the south fork. The south fork of the creek drops from 5,713 feet (1,741 m) above sea level at its source, the north fork from 4,638 feet (1,414 m). They meet each other at 1,647 feet (502 m). The creek's mouth is located at 1,204 feet (367 m). Overall, Little Butte Creek drops approximately 25 feet per mile (4.8 m/km). The north fork begins at Fish Lake, near Mount McLoughlin. It flows west, collecting only minor tributaries, before merging with the south fork. The south fork's headwaters are just south of the 7,311-foot (2,228 m) tall Brown Mountain. The Pacific Crest Trail passes through this area. It flows west, receiving Beaver Dam Creek and Dead Indian Creek on the left bank. Beaver Dam Creek drains approximately 28 square miles (73 km), while Dead Indian Creek has a watershed of about 22 square miles (57 km). The Dead Indian Soda Springs are located on Dead Indian Creek, about a mile south of its confluence with the south fork. The south fork then turns northwest, collecting water from Lost Creek on the left, near the Lost Creek Bridge, built in 1919. Lost Creek drains about 17 square miles (44 km). Brown Mountain from Lake of the Woods, near the headwaters of the south forkJust after the two forks merge about 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Medford, Little Butte Creek receives Lake Creek on the left bank, flowing through the community of the same name at river mile (RM) 17 or river kilometer (RK) 27.

Excerpt: Oregon City, Oregon -Main Street circa 1920Known in recent decades as the site of several large paper mills on the Willamette River, the city played a significant role in the early history of the Oregon Country. It was established by Hudson's Bay Company's Dr. John McLoughlin in 1829 near the confluence of the Clackamas River with the Willamette to take advantage of the power of Willamette Falls to run a lumber mill. During the 1840s and 1850s it was the destination for those wanting to file land claims after traveling the Oregon Trail as the last stop on the trail. It was the capital of the Oregon Territory from its establishment in 1848 until 1851, and rivaled Portland for early supremacy in the area. In 1846, the city's newspaper, the Oregon Spectator, was the first American newspaper to be published west of the Rocky Mountains. The center of the city retains part of its historic character through the preservation of houses and other buildings from the era of the city's founding.

Excerpt: King City, Oregon -Created as a planned adult community, King City was incorporated in March 1966. The city's legal restrictions which forbid minors from living within its city limits for more than a short time have since been subjected to increasing criticism. Due to controversy in the annexation by the City of Tigard of the Bull Mountain area directly north of King City, a proposal for King City to annex the area instead was made. Since the population and size of Bull Mountain is significantly large (about 5,600 registered voters), compared with King City, this would be a noteworthy change in King City. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.4 square miles (1.1 km²), all of it land. At the 2000 census, there were 1,949 people, 1,389 households and 480 families residing in the city. The population density was 4,652.9 per square mile (1,791.7/km²). There were 1,488 housing units at an average density of 3,552.4/sq mi (1,367.9/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 98.31% White, 0.15% Native American, 0.92% Asian, 0.10% from other races, and 0.51% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.51% of the population. There were 1,389 households of which 0.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 31.4% were married couples living together, 2.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 65.4% were non-families. 63.4% of all households were made up of individuals and 55.2% ha...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=131008 ...

Excerpt: Tolo, Oregon -Prior to the arrival of settlers in mid-1800s, Shasta, Takelma, Latgawa, and Athabaskan Indians lived in the Rogue River valley. Early Hudson's Bay Company hunters and trappers, following the Siskiyou Trail, passed through the area in the 1820s. In the late 1840s, settlers (mostly American) following the Applegate Trail began passing through the area. By the early 1850s, the Donation Land Act brought many white settlers into the Rogue Valley and in conflict with its Native people. These often violent clashes prompted the signing of the Table Rock Treaty on September 10, 1853. The Table Rock Treaty established the first reservation in the Pacific Northwest, the Table Rock Indian Reservation, which encompassed Upper and Lower Table Rock, Sams Valley, and the Evans Creek and Sardine Creek watersheds. The treaty also called for a fort to protect the Indians from the ambitions of the white settlers. Fort Lane was constructed in 1853 in what was to become Willow Springs, and later, Tolo. It was occupied by two companies of the U.S. Army's 1st Dragoons under the command of Captain Andrew Jackson Smith. The fort was used to maintain the peace between the pioneers and native peoples. However, tensions and violence continued to mount, leading to the Rogue River Wars of 1855-1856. Joel Palmer, Oregon Superintendent of Indian Affairs, ordered the removal of the Indians of southwest Oregon to the Coastal Indian Reservation of northern Oregon. Fort Lane became the Army he...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=24981852 ... Read more

Excerpt: The Oregon City Municipal Elevator is a 130-foot (40 m) elevator which connects two neighborhoods in Oregon City in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the only outdoor municipal elevator in the US and one of only four in the world. The upper portion contains an observation deck which accounts for its flying saucer appearance. There have been two elevators at this location; the current elevator was built in 1954-55. The city of Oregon City includes dramatic changes in elevation. The city's central business district is sandwiched between the Willamette River and a basalt cliff, and is only several blocks wide. At the top of the 90-foot (27 m) cliff lies another neighborhood. Indian trails negotiating the cliffside were used originally to connect the two areas beginning with the founding of the town in 1829. Numerous stairways were built in the mid 1860s, but a better transportation solution was needed. Depiction of original Oregon City elevatorA bond measure to raise $12,000 for construction was put to voters in July 1912. This levy failed, but a second referendum passed in December of the same year. The elevator opened to the public in 1915, delayed by politics. The original elevator was water-powered and took three minutes for the ride. The elevator was so popular that most of the cliffside stairs were removed. The elevator was converted to electric drive in 1924, which reduced the time to 30 seconds. After 40 years of service, a replacement was authorized by a $175,000 bond by a special election held May 1952. The specif...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6326053 ... Read more
