The first members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") moved to Oregon in 1887 to build a lumber mill on the North Powder River. Eventually, a few hundred other members came to join them, running the lumber mill and running sugar beet farms. Later, the Church sent missionaries into the area until church membership reached the 145 thousand members in Oregon today.
