The Oregon Historic District is an area of homes and businesses dating from the earliest days ofDaytons history. It is located on theedge of downtown Dayton and includes a combination of commercial and residential architecture. Oregon is significant for both its early settlement and for itsprominence as a neighborhood of German speaking immigrants who arrived by canal boat once the Miami and Erie Canal was opened in 1829. The area now known as Oregon was laid out by Daniel C. Cooper, proprietor of Dayton in 1815 and the first plat was recorded in 1829. The opening of the Canal, which was located on what is now Patterson Boulevard, brought a rapid increase in the areas population. Oregon remained prestigious and prosperous throughout the Civil War period and into the twentieth century. However, the disaster of Daytons 1913 flood was keenly felt in the district, which was covered by 10 feet of water. Residents began to move to higher, safer ground, and the two World Wars accelerated the decline into absentee ownership. By the 1960s the city began to consider clearing and redeveloping the neighborhood. In reaction to this plan a preservation group was formed and the neighborhood was saved. Oregon displays a varietyof housing types from simple artisans dwellings to more elaborate, highstyle residences in various architectural styles. Many prominent Daytonians lived here, including Thomas Brown, after whom Brown Street was named, owner of abrickyard and contracting business; John Rouzer, a builder; David L. Rike, founder of a department store; Salvatore Schaeffer, tobacco dealer; Wesley Boren, brick contractor; William McHose, founder of an architectural iron works firm; JacobSortman, a brick contractor; John Gates Doren, a newspaper editor; Dr. Alfred Iddings, a surgeon; and Daniel McSherry, inventor.
