History
Led by Dr. Caitlin Corning (History), Rachel Thomas (Archives/Library), Jenny Bruxvoort (Library), and Rob Felton (Executive Communication) of George Fox University, Mapping Our History is a digital humanities project involving digitally mapping the downtown with overlays that will identify historic land use, structures, events, and artifacts to tell the story of the city.
Prior to Oregon' s settlement by immigrants and trappers, more than 14,000 indigenous Kalapuya people lived in the Willamette Valley and called the Newberg area Che'halem. They were hunters and gatherers; living on the prairies in the summers and on the forest edges in the winters.
The Hoover-Minthorn House was built in 1881 by Jesse Edwards and is the first residence built and still standing in what is now Newberg, Oregon. For the years 1885-1889, the house was the home of Herbert Hoover, 31st President of the United States. It is now a museum open to the public.

If you’ve taken time to stroll through Downtown Newberg in the past few months, you’ve likely seen the new placards placed throughout town that share the history of six different buildings in Newberg. The signs were brought to Newberg thanks to the hard work of the Newberg Area Historical Society who, for the past two years, have been gathering research and working with partners to create the new additions.
