<P> A group of settlers in the Willamette Valley began meeting in 1841 to discuss organizing a government for the area . These earliest documented discussions , mostly concerning forming a government , were held in an early pioneer and Native American encampment and later town known as Champoeg , Oregon . These first Champoeg Meetings eventually led to further discussions , and in 1843 the creation of the Provisional Government of Oregon . In 1846 , the Oregon boundary dispute between the U.S. and Britain was settled with the signing of the Oregon Treaty . The British gained sole possession of the land north of the 49th parallel and all of Vancouver Island , with the United States receiving the territory south of that line . </P>
