Origins

In May 1856, the first Republican meeting in Oregon was held in Jackson County to nominate county officers and to adopt a platform declaring freedom throughout the United States. On August 20th 1856, Republicans in the Oregon Territory met in Albany and organized the Oregon Republican Party. At this meeting steps were taken to organize county and precinct conventions.[5]
