Dr. John McLoughlin lived in this house in the city he founded from 1846 to 1857. As Chief Factor and Superintendent of the Hudson’s Bay Company in this territory from 1824 to 1845, he won enduring fame for his generous and humane aid to early American settlers in the Oregon Country. In 1850, he presented this park to Oregon City, and in 1851 he became a citizen of the United States. His house originally stood closer to the river and was moved to this location in 1909.
