The Oregon City School District
was an 1858 split off from the original Oregon Township District established in 1853 in the Messilla Valley. For a few years it was called the Franklin District until 1861 when the Cherokee District was split off and Oregon City District acquired the name we know today. The district was then annexed to the Cherokee District in 1923 as the population center shifted. More recently both areas became a part of the Golden Feather Union School District with an office at Concow.
The deed to the Oregon City School was granted to the Butte County Historical society in 1981 with the provision that the historical nature of the property be restored and preserved for the benefit of the citizens of Butte County.
