Oregon was first inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years until the first Spanish explorer came in the 16th Century.  By 1818 Oregon was co-occupied by the Americans and the British until it became solely American territory in 1846.

Current day Oregon is made up of a population that is 8% Hispanic, 89% White, the remaining population is pretty evenly split between Black, Asian and Native American.  57% of Oregon's population resides in the Portland Metropolitan area.  The largest religious groups are 67% identifying as Christians and 27% as unaffiliated.
