The Oregon Territory was split between the United States and Britain.
One of the states formed from the Oregon Country is Oregon itself. Oregon was established as a state in 1859 as part of the Compromise of 1850, splitting from the larger Oregon Territory. The territory was initially jointly occupied by the United States and Britain until a boundary was established at the 49th parallel in the Oregon Treaty of 1846, paving the way for Oregon's statehood.
Britain
The United States, Great Britain, Spain, and Russia claimed the Oregon territory, in other words, the Oregon Country.
In 1846 under President James K. Polk the U.S. signed a treaty with Britain that gave the U.S. possession of the Oregon territory.
