Criminal Defense Attorney Oregon City
Oregon City was established by the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1829 and it became the first city west of the Rocky Mountains to be incorporated in 1844. In the mid 19th century the area was the last stop for anyone who wanted to file a land claim after traveling across the Oregon Trail.
Originally the area was known for its thriving lumber and paper industries with several large paper mills having been set on the Willamette River in recent decades. Unfortunately, with the decline of the Pacific Northwest lumber industry in the later half of the 20th century, all but one paper mill has survived.
Oregon City’s economy is in part driven by high technology. With the median age of its residents being 36.3 years old, the majority of those within Oregon City’s borders rely on a device and an Internet connection to communicate with loved ones and to conduct business.
