Oregon, Wisconsin

Oregon is a village in Dane County, Wisconsin, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population was 11,179. A suburb south of Madison, it is part of the Madison metropolitan area. The village is located mostly within the Town of Oregon.

History
Oregon was settled in 1841 by Bartlet Runey, and the first house was constructed in 1843. Initially the settlement was known as "Rome Corners," and there is a road south of the village which still bears that name. When the Chicago and North Western Railroad came through the village in 1864, their maps indicated a name of "Oregon," and the name was adopted. The village was incorporated in 1881. The main railroad line from Chicago to Minneapolis ran through Oregon. From 1880 to 1950 the line was double tracked. Most of the line was abandoned between Evansville and Madison in 1996 but the line was reactivated from Madison to Oregon to serve the Lycon Concrete Plant in 2014.

Many of Oregon's historical buildings still stand in the downtown district, including the Netherwood Block on the south, the Badger Cycle Company building and original water tower on the southeast on Janesville Street, and numerous business lining the west side of North and South Main Street. The Red Brick School, one of the more distinguishable structures in the village, built in 1922 as the high school, stands north of downtown. It was recently restored and now serves as the business offices for the Gorman Company.
