Oregon became a state on February 14, 1859, following a complex history of exploration and settlement. Initially, the Oregon Territory was established in 1848, encompassing lands claimed by both the United States and Britain. The influx of settlers via the Oregon Trail in the 1840s heightened American claims, leading to the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which settled boundary disputes. After years of growth and the establishment of a stable government, Oregon was admitted as the 33rd state.
