History

Early history

The Clackamas Indians had occupied the land now known as Lake Oswego, but diseases transmitted by European explorers and traders decimated the tribes. Prior to the influx of population via the Oregon Trail, the area between the Willamette River and Tualatin River had a scattering of early pioneer homesteads and farms. The Clackamas Indians were a tribe of American Indians of the American state of Oregon. ... For other uses, see Oregon Trail (disambiguation). ... The Willamette River (pronounced wil-LAM-met) is a tributary of the Columbia River, approximately 240 mi (386 km) long, in northwestern Oregon in the United States. ... The Tualatin River in northwest Oregon The Tualatin River is a tributary of the Willamette River, approximately 83 mi (125 km), in Oregon in the United States. ...


19th century

As settlers arrived, encouraged by the Donation Land Claim Act of 1850 and the subsequent Homestead Act, they found the land under-occupied. The Donation Land Claim Act of 1850, sometimes known just as the Donation Land Act, was an historic law passed by the Congress of the United States intended to promote homestead settlement in the Oregon Territory in the Pacific Northwest (comprising the present-day states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho). ... The Homestead Act was a United States Federal law that gave freehold title to 160 acres (one quarter section or about 65 hectares) of undeveloped land in the American West. ...


Albert Alonzo Durham founded the town of Oswego in 1847, naming it after his New York birthplace. He also built a saw mill on Sucker Creek (now Oswego Creek), the town's first industry.[4] Oregon Geographic Names is an authoritative compilation of the origin and meaning of place names in the state of Oregon. ... Oswego County is a county located in the state of New York. ...


In 1855, the federal government forcibly relocated the remaining Clackamas Indians to the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation in nearby Yamhill County.[4] The Grand Ronde Indian Reservation is located on a section of land about 18 miles east of Lincoln City, Oregon, near the town of Grand Ronde, Oregon. ... Yamhill County is a county located in the state of Oregon. ...


During this early period in Oregon history, most trade proceeded from Portland to Oregon City via the Willamette River, and up the Tualatin River Valley through Tualatin, Scholls, and Hillsboro. The thick woods and rain-muddied roads were major obstacles to traveling by land. Along the rivers of this area can still be seen the vestiges of river landings, ferry stops, and covered bridges of this period. A landing in the city's present-day George Rogers Park is thought to have been developed by Durham around 1850 for lumber transport; another landing was near the Tryon Creek outlet into the Willamette.

Ruins of the 1866 Oregon Iron Company furnace, George Rogers Park

In 1865, prompted by the earlier discovery of iron ore in the Tualatin Valley, the Oregon Iron Company was incorporated. Within two years the first blast furnace on the west coast was built, patterned after the arched furnaces common in northwestern Connecticut. Other companies such as the Oswego Iron Company and Oregon Iron and Steel Company (OI&S) followed, collectively intent on making Oswego into the Pittsburgh of the West. This heap of iron ore pellets will be used in steel production. ... The Tualatin River The Tualatin Valley is a farming and suburban region southwest of Portland, Oregon in the United States. ...

The railroad arrived in Oswego in 1886, in the form of the Portland and Willamette Valley Railroad (P&WVR). A seven-mile-long line provided Oswego with a direct link to Portland. Prior to this, access to the town was limited to primitive roads and river boats. The railroad's arrival was a mixed blessing; locally, it promoted residential development along its path, which enabled Oswego to grow beyond its industrial roots. But nationally, the continued expansion of freight railroad system gave easy local access to cheaper and higher quality iron from the Great Lakes region. This ultimately led to the local industry's demise. The Portland and Willamette Valley Railroad was incorporated in January 1885 to continue construction of a railroad line between Portland and Dundee in Oregon that had been started a few years earlier. ... The Great Lakes from space The Laurentian Great Lakes are a group of five large lakes in North America on or near the Canada-United States border. ...


By 1890, the industry had the capacity to produce 12,305 tons of pig iron, and at its peak provided employment to around 300 men. The success of this industry greatly stimulated the development of Oswego, which by this time had four general stores, a bank, two barber shops, two hotels, three churches, nine saloons, a drugstore, and even an opera house. Two weights used in the theatre and made of pig iron; because of this, they are dubbed pig weights or simply pigs. ...


The iron industry was a vital part of a strategy designed by a few Portland financiers who strove to control all related entrepreneurial ventures in the late 1800s. Control of shipping and railroads was held under the Oregon Steam Navigation Company, later to become the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. This local monopoly responded to the area's increasing demand for iron and steel, and grew to play a key role in economic history throughout the area. (See also Simeon Gannett Reed, Henry Villard.)

Henry Villard (April 10, 1835 – 1900), was an American journalist and financier of German origin. ...


20th century

OI&S adapted to the new century by undertaking programs in land development, selling large tracts of the 24,000 acres (97 km²) it owned, and power, building a plant on Oswego Creek starting in 1905, and erecting power poles in subsequent years to supply power to Oswego citizens. With the water needs of the smelters tailing off, the recreational potential of the lake and town was freed to develop rapidly.[4]


Oswego incorporated in 1910. A Municipal Corporation is a legal defintion for a local governing body, including (but not necessarily limited to) cities, counties, and towns. ...


The Southern Pacific Railroad, which had acquired the P&WVR line at the end of the 19th century, widened it from narrow to standard gauge and in 1914 electrified it, providing rapid, clean, and quiet service between Oswego and Portland. The Southern Pacific Railroad (AAR reporting marks SP) was an American railroad. ... Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical) (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801-1900 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar. ...


Passenger traffic hit its peak in 1920 with 64 trains to and from Portland daily. Within nine years of the peak, passenger service ended and the line was used for intermittent freight service to Portland's south waterfront up until its abandonment in 1984. The line was preserved, however and the Willamette Shore Trolley provides tourist rides on the line today. The Willamette Shore Trolley is a tourist trolley which travels along the west bank of the Willamette River between Portland and Lake Oswego in Oregon, on a train line known as the Jefferson Street Branch Line. ...


One of the land developers benefiting from sales by OI&S was Paul Murphy, whose Oswego Lake Country Club helped promote the new city as a place to "live where you play." Murphy was instrumental in developing the first water system to supply the western reaches of the city, and also played a key role in encouraging the design of fine homes in the 1930s and 1940s that ultimately would establish Oswego as an attractive place to live. In the 1940s and 1950s, continued development helped spread Oswego's residential areas.[4]


In 1960, Oswego was renamed Lake Oswego when it annexed part of neighboring Lake Grove.[4] Lake Grove, Oregon is a small neighborhood of Lake Oswego Oregon. ...

Oswego Lake is a private lake (an expansion of an earlier natural lake, named Waluga (wild swan) by Clackamas Indians[2]) managed by the Lake Oswego Corporation. [3] Houses with views of Oswego Lake and lakeshore property are very expensive and much sought after.[citation needed] This lake is navigable, with a dock at the east end where boaters can disembark and walk to the nearby businesses. Canals extending from the lake were dug in the early part of the century.[citation needed] The Ashokan Reservoir, located in Ulster County, New York, USA. It is one of 19 that supplies New York City with drinking water. ...


Every five to ten years, the water level in the lake is lowered by opening the gates on the dam and allowing water to flow into Oswego Creek and on to the Willamette River, enabling lakefront property owners to conduct repairs on docks and boathouses. The lake was most recently lowered in October 2006.[5] The Willamette River (pronounced wil-LAM-met) is a tributary of the Columbia River, approximately 240 mi (386 km) long, in northwestern Oregon in the United States. ...
