The first white settlers arrived in Oregon City in 1843 and established a small farmstead on what is now known as Pioneer Square. The community began to grow when the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company built a line through town in 1872. The city's name was derived from the nearby Willamette River, which was named after William Henry Harrison, president of the United States at the time. In 1888, Oregon City became home to Lewis & Clark College (now Lewis & Clark University).

Today, Oregon City is an affluent suburban community with a mix of single-family homes and apartments.
