CANBY HISTORY <http://www.canbyhistoricalsociety.org/town.html#>
Situated in the beautiful North Willamette Valley of Clackamas County,
Oregon, Canby was once the seasonal meeting place for tribes of local
Indians and was well known for its annual crop of wild strawberries. The
area, known as Baker Prairie was an open expanse of ground in the dense fir
forest that stretched for miles.
James Baker, one of the earliest white settlers in Oregon, arrived in the
area in 1838 with a cattle drive from California and was soon farming on
land in what is now north Canby. Other settlers arrived, including Philander
and Anna Lee in 1848, who bought "squatters" rights beside a spring-fed
creek on what is now SE First Avenue. Lee began growing apples on 80 acres
of land and shipped them to the gold miners in California. In 1850, the Lees
gained title to their 647 acres through the Donation Land Claim Act which
brought many more settlers over the Oregon Trial to Baker Prairie and
surrounding areas.
