History
Before 18th century
A point lived, but, in the ground known as lake Oswego, クラカマス Indian decreased the tribal population by a disease brought in by people of European explorer, trade now. On the land sandwiched between the Willamette and the トゥアラティン rivers, a house and the farm of the early pioneer slightly lay scattered before I traced the Oregon highway, and many people put it.
19th century
It was propelled by the grant place request method of 1850 and the Homestead Act to follow, and it was still only vacant land in those days, and many people arrived at this ground.
In 1847, a town of Oswego was established by Albert Alonso Durham. It comes from the New York Oswego county that is hometown of Durham with Oswego. Durham built the sawing factory along the soccer creek (existing: Oswego creek), and this became the industrial beginning in Oswego. [3]
In 1855, the federal government let the クラカマス Indian whom I remained in emigrate to the ground rondo Indian settlement close to the ヤムヒル county forcibly.
I traced the Willamette, and this time, commerce equal to the early days went up the トゥアラティン river valley from Portland to Oregon City again in the history of Oregon and advanced to トゥアラティン, Sholes, the Hills fault. The land traffic was difficult by the deep forest and ways which got wet in the rain, and became muddy. Along the river in this area, I can see a used anchorage, a connecting line platform, the trace of the covered bridge (bridge with the roof) now in those days. It is thought that the anchorage in the current George Rodger's park was developed for the purpose of wood transportation by Durham in lake Oswego City in about 1850. An anchorage ever existed near the try on creek and the join of the Willamette.
It is propelled by iron ore having been discovered in トゥアラティン Valley in 1865, and Oregon iron company establishes it. The first blast furnace was constructed afterwards in the West Coast within two years. This is made after the fashion of a common arch-formed blast furnace in the northwestern part of Connecticut. Oswego iron company and Oregon iron and steel company established it successively, and Oswego was leaving for "western Pittsburgh".
In 1886, Portland and Willamette valley railroad extended, and a railroad was spread in Oswego. A direct flight of 11.3km (7 mi) was operated from Oswego to Portland. I went along the coarse way to the town of Oswego, or, before this, as for going, there was means of the access by ship in a river. A railroad was good, and it had bad arrival for Oswego. Residential land development was promoted along a track in Oswego, and development beyond the width allowed conventional area industry. However, was mined in a Five Lakes area; high-quality iron came to get into the field easily although being cheap, and led to the local industrial decline of Oswego.
As of 1890, Oswego produced 12,305 tons of pig iron, and the employment population of the industry rose to approximately 300 people in a heyday. This success became the stimulation of the development of Oswego and added it to four general stores, one bank, two barber's, two hotels, three churches, nine bars, one drugstore at the same time at a point and existed to one opera house.
The iron industry was the most important part of the strategy that several investors of Portland who schemed the rule of all venture companies in the allied industry of the end of 19th century designed. Oregon steam navigation company (Oregon rail way and navigation company in the back) controlled the administration of a ship and the railroad. The local monopolistic enterprise played an important role in response to demand for steel which increased in an area in a history of the local economy.
20th century
When the Oregon iron and steel company was the 20th century, I started land development and sold land of 97 km² (24,000 acres) which I held and built the factory along Oswego creek in 1905, and electricity came to be supplied to the inhabitants of Oswego several years later by putting up an electric light pole again. When the water demand for refinery is settled, possibility to the recreation of a lake and the town is found and will accomplish rapid growth [3].
It was become a corporation, and, in 1910, the local government of Oswego established it.
I enlarged it, and, as for the Southern Pacific railroad which purchased the Portland and Willamette valley railroad at the end of 19th century, a high-speed, comfortable train service came to be operated in a thing through the electricity between the gauge of the rail between Oswego and Portland in 1914 from a thing of the narrow width to a standard thing.
The passenger transportation greeted the heyday in 1920, and 64 flights a day came and went between Portland. However, the passenger service was finished nine years later, and the line came to be used for carriage of goods to south waterfront of Portland, but reached the abolition in 1984. The track is stored and Willamette shore trolley runs in the line now and gathers tourists afterwards.
The one of the person of land development that enjoyed the benefit of the sales of the Oregon iron and steel company has Paul Murphy. "The Oswego lake country club" which Murphy owned made a help to develop the Oswego city which I just established as the place where "I lived in while playing". Murphy participated in the business that let the western part of the city supply a water supply system for the first time and participated in promotion business of the mansion design from 1930s through 1940s again and let Oswego change into "the attractive town where I wanted to live" in. The development of Oswego continues from 1940s through 1950s and wants to see the expansion of the further residential area [3].
In 1960, Oswego merged an adjacent lake glove and changed my name to lake Oswego [3].
Geography
According to United States of America Bureau of the Census, as for the total area of lake Oswego City, land, 1.6 km² (0.6 mi²) equal to 5.57% are the surfaces of the water 26.8 km² (10.4 mi²) of those in 28.4 km² (10.9 mi²).
Oswego lake is the lake which expanded the nature lake which I have ever referred to a moth (Waluga, wild swan) having bad クラカマス Indian in a private possession lake [4] which lake Oswego corporation manages artificially [5]. Houses and the price that can overlook a lake of lakeside real estate soar, and popularity is very high. The lake top is available for the navigation of the ship and I go ashore from the dock of the east side and can walk to within easy reach of. The important irrigation canal attracted by トゥアラディン was excavated in the early 20th century.
Once in 5-10 years, the water level of the Oswego lake falls. This is because the water of the Oswego lake flows through the Willamette via Oswego creek by the water gate of the dam opening, but the opportunity when the owner of the lakeside land repairs a dock and a boathouse is in this way got. In late years a drop of the water level was carried out in October, 2006. [6]
The city limits of lake Oswego extend to トゥアラティン through a lake glove again to the Silva near mountain.
Population dynamics
Lake Oswego is the suburbs of eminent Portland city where the upper-income group lives in. The mean family incomes of 2000 of lake Oswego greatly increased from 57,499 U.S. dollars of 1990 for 71,597 U.S. dollars. The house price rose suddenly to be seen in the Portland urban area widely, and the mean house price of the city which was 142,600 U.S. dollars in 1990 became 296,200 U.S. dollars in 2000 and swelled than double in ten years. Oregon outstanding high-priced real estate is seen in the city, but this tendency is remarkable in the area around the lake in particular. One house average price including land estimated in 2007 was along 750,000 U.S. dollars, a lake, and it went up it from the lake to 1,000,250 U.S. dollars at a remote place.
