The first known people to inhabit Oregon were Native American tribes, including the Chinook, Klamath, and Nez Perce, who lived in the region for thousands of years before European exploration. The first recorded European to explore Oregon was Spanish explorer Bruno de Heceta in 1775. However, it was the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805-1806 that brought greater attention to the Oregon Territory, leading to increased interest and settlement by American pioneers in the following decades.
