Welcome to the Oregon Trails site for Polk County

Part of the Genealogytrails.com family

Finding Ancestors....wherever their trails led!

Website updated with new data August 13, 2007


Hi! My name is Shauna Williams and I am the host for Oregon and Polk County! I am so excited to be involved in the Genealogy Trails project and I hope that it provides a wonderful resource for all of the researchers out there!

 I will be adding information as quickly as possible to both the Oregon and Polk county sites! If you have any interest in hosting a Oregon county or perhaps even another state you will find all the information you need on the volunteer page.

If you have original data you would like to share I would LOVE to have it, sometimes something that is a piece of your puzzle could break down a brick wall for someone else!

Look around, let me know your comments, questions and suggestions. Good Luck in your search!

Polk County was created by the Provisional Legislature from Yamhill District on December 22, 1845. The county was named after President James Knox Polk and originally included the entire southwestern portion of present day Oregon to the California border. County boundaries were periodically changed to reflect the creation of Benton and Lincoln Counties. Polk County today contains 745 square miles and stretches from the Willamette River on the east to the Coast Range on the west. It is bordered by Yamhill, Lincoln, Benton, and Marion Counties.
