Oregon was not "discovered" in the traditional sense, as it was inhabited by Indigenous peoples long before European exploration. However, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which began in 1804, is often credited with bringing the Oregon region to wider attention among American settlers. Led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the expedition mapped the area and established American claims to the Pacific Northwest. Their journey significantly contributed to the westward expansion of the United States.
