The U.S. soon organized its portion as the Oregon Territory.
Oregon Territory (1848-1853/1859), established by the United States Congress and approved by the President, two years after its sovereignty over the southern portion of the region was established by the Oregon Treaty of June 1846, splitting the earlier Oregon Country with the northern portion going to Great Britain / future Canada.
