Eugene

The city of Eugene was founded by Eugene Skinner in the year 1852. When Mr. Skinner and his fellow pioneers arrived in the Willamette Valley in 1846, it had been occupied for at least several centuries by Native Americans known as the Kalalpuyas (or Kalapuyans).

When flooding inundated his original plat for the town during the winter of 1852, Skinner relocated it on higher ground and it was eventually incorporated as Eugene City in 1862.

Eugene is Oregon's second largest city with a population of about 130,000. It covers an area of about 36 square miles with the Willamette River running through the heart of the city.

The Equity Foundation is proud to support the GLBT community of Brokings Oregon through grants, scholarships and community activism.
