Oregon County Missouri History
A sign at the courthouse in Alton reads:
Oregon County |
|
Here
in the extreme southern Missouri Ozarks, Oregon County was organized
in 1845, and named for the Oregon territory of the Far West. One of
11 counties along the Arkansas border, Oregon is in a region claimed
by the Osage until 1808. Charles Hatcher was the first settler,
probably in 1809. Early pioneers were largely from Ky., and Tenn.,
with a few from the East. |
