"Covered Wagons Brought Many Settlers Here in 1850" Immigration of Year Notable - Oregon Historical Society Compiles List, Most Complete Ever Published of Pioneers Who Came 75 Years Ago. Oregon gained many new residents in 1850. The territory was becoming better known in the east, since the gold rush to California had created an active market for agricultural product and the Willamette Valley afforded as almost limitless opportunity for production of the staples the gold miners needed. Price was no object in the gold camps and the Oregon pioneers, chiefly agriculturists, were coming in increasing numbers. The following list of the immigration of 1850 to Oregon is from the archives of the Oregon Historical Society and, although not complete, includes most of those who came that year. -------- Additional note: The names were copied in the order they appear in the newspaper article and are not necessarily in alphabetical order. Also, the compiler's copy of this paper had taped crease marks which obliterated some of the names. If there is access to the original article, additions and corrections will be appreciated. ------------- "A" Surnames: Abbott, Mrs. S. F. Abernethy, Alex S.
