The Territory of Oregon was an organized incorporated territory of
the United States that existed from August 14, 1848, until February
14, 1859, when the southwestern portion of the territory was admitted
to the Union as the State of Oregon.

The capital of the territory was first Oregon City, then Salem, followed
briefly by Corvallis, then back to Salem, which became the state capital
upon Oregon’s admission to the Union in 1859.

Shortly before his death, Jimmy Dorsey was awarded a gold record for
"So Rare" which was recorded on November 11, 1956. There remains
a controversy over who played the alto solo on the recording, Dick
Stabile or Jimmy Dorsey. The single reached the number-two spot on 
the Billboard charts, becoming the highest charting song by a big band
during the first decade of the rock-and-roll era.
