La Grande was named the county seat when Union County was created in 1865. Due to the Thomas and Ruckle Road going through Union, it elected the county seat in 1872, but when the railroad was built it was put through La Grande instead of Union. La Grande became the bigger town within the county and regained the county seat in 1902. J. W. Shelton, a local attorney, chartered the Union Electric Power and Light Company in March 1890 to bring the railroad from Union Junction (2.5 miles away) to Union itself. The company was renamed the Union Railway Company in July 1890, and the rail spur was built into Union by August 1892. Shelton planned to build more lines, had a fight with his company partners (the Hutchinsons), then two competing firms were formed: Shelton's The Union Railway in January 1893, and Hutchinsons' Union Street Railway and Suburban Railway. Both companies competed to buy the Union Railway Company. Shelton maintained control until August 1905, when The Union Railway was renamed to the Union, Cove and Valley Railway. This company was bought the following year by a timber company from the East Coast.
Oregon (i/ˈɔːrᵻɡən/AWR-ə-gən) is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Oregon is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Washington, on the south by California, on the east by Idaho, and on the southeast by Nevada. The Columbia River delineates much of Oregon's northern boundary, and the Snake River delineates much of the eastern boundary. The parallel 42° north delineates the southern boundary with California and Nevada. It is one of only three states of the contiguous United States to have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean, and the proximity to the ocean heavily influences the state's mild winter climate, despite the latitude.
Oregon was inhabited by many indigenous tribes before Western traders, explorers, and settlers arrived. An autonomous government was formed in the Oregon Country in 1843, the Oregon Territory was created in 1848, and Oregon became the 33rd state on February14, 1859. Today, at 98,000 square miles, Oregon is the ninth largest and, with a population of 4 million, 26th most populous U.S. state. The capital of Oregon is Salem, the second most populous of its cities, with 160,614 residents (2013 estimate). With 609,456 residents (2013 estimate), Portland is the largest city in Oregon and ranks 29th in the U.S. Its metro population of 2,314,554 (2013 estimate) is 24th. The Willamette Valley in western Oregon is the state's most densely populated area, home to eight of the ten most populous cities.
The land Oregon, Illinois was founded on was previously held by the Potawatomi and Winnebago Indian tribes. In fact, later, settlers discovered that the area contained a large number of Indian mounds, most 10 to 12 feet in diameter.
Ogle County was a New England settlement. The original founders of Oregon and Rochelle consisted entirely of settlers from New England. These people were "Yankees", that is to say they were descended from the EnglishPuritans who settled New England in the 1600s. They were part of a wave of New England farmers who headed west into what was then the wilds of the Northwest Territory during the early 1800s. Most of them arrived as a result of the completion of the Erie Canal. When they arrived in what is now Bureau County there was nothing but a virgin forest and wild prairie, the New Englanders laid out farms, constructed roads, erected government buildings and established post routes. They brought with them many of their YankeeNew England values, such as a passion for education, establishing many schools as well as staunch support for abolitionism. They were mostly members of the Congregationalist Church though some were Episcopalian. Culturally Bureau County, like much of northern Illinois would be culturally very continuous with early New England culture, for most of its history.
Towner and Moore had been friends and occasional collaborators since meeting in 1960 as students at the University of Oregon. By 1969, both were working musicians living in New York; while collaborating with folksinger Tim Hardin they were introduced to world music pioneer Paul Winter's "Consort" ensemble, particularly member Collin Walcott, with whom Towner began improvising as an informal duo. By 1970 Towner and Moore had joined the Winter Consort and met fellow member McCandless; the four began exploring improvisation on their own, while their contributions continued to be seminal in redefining the Winter Consort "sound" in compositions like Towner's "Icarus".
The four musicians made their first group recording in 1970, but the label, Increase Records, went out of business before it could be released (it eventually was issued by Vanguard in 1980 as Our First Record). Oregon made its "formal" debut in NYC in 1971 (originally named "Thyme — Music of Another Present Era", the name change to Oregon was suggested by McCandless).

The Best Rural Small Towns in Oregon.
Want to find a rural Oregon town to buy a home? Who doesn’t? Today we looking at great rural towns in Oregon. Oregon Real estate is always a great conversation. Ask any Realtor.
We have been doing this series about great rural towns to retire or live as remote workers across the United States, we had a bunch of people ask if we could expand and do it by state. So, we are.
A couple of things about rural Oregon towns, they rarely have jobs so you have to bring one or not need one, and Subaru with good car insurance because chances are you'll end up stuck in a ditch. I did when I moved here.
In the last video, I explained that not all states have 10 good rural towns and I don’t want to waste your time with some places that aren’t worthy of this list.

“The video really lets you experience the diversity of the landscape, as well as the activities and cultural opportunities that make this part of northeastern Oregon unique,” said Lea Gettle, Manager of Administration and Strategic Services for the electric cooperative located in northeastern Oregon.
It might be surprising that an electric cooperative spearheaded this Familiarization (FAM) Tour project to help Union County organizations step up their marketing outreach, but economic development strongly supports the mission of the Oregon Electric Cooperative.
“Our objective is to elevate the perception of our communities to attract visitors, investors, and new businesses. By utilizing Golden Shovel Agency’s PlaceVR technology, we’re able to take that perception up to a whole new level that makes our message more memorable, and reaches more people,” said Lea.
The immersive nature of PlaceVR technology creates an intense experience for the viewer that fires the same brain activity as if the person were really in a new place. The result is that people remember what they’ve seen and heard, and they’re open to taking action - like booking a trip to visit in person.
“This has been a great collaboration with people who recognize that innovation fuels progress,” said Aaron Brossoit, CEO of Golden Shovel Agency.” The increased visibility that Union County will get as they promote their community with virtual reality technology is absolutely essential if they’re going to grow.”
Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative partnered with numerous Union County businesses and organizations to create the video.
