Yamhill County, OR 1860 Federal Census PRECINCTS ABOUT YAMHILL COUNTY: The earliest known inhabitants of the area were the Yamhill (Yamhelas Indian Tribe). The earliest non-native settlers were employees of the various fur companies operating in Oregon Country, who started settling there around 1814. But it was the establishment of the Oregon Trail that led to significant migration to the area. Yamhill District (later county) was created on July 5, 1843, five years before the Oregon Territory was established. It was one of the original four districts created by Oregon's first Provisional Legislature.
