About
The Johnson Creek Watershed area was once the home of the Clackamas Indians, a subgroup of the Chinookan speakers who lived in the Columbia River Valley from Celilo Falls to the Pacific Ocean. When Lewis and Clark visited the area in 1806, the Clackamas tribe consisted of about 1,800 people living in 11 villages. Epidemics of smallpox, malaria, and measles reduced this population to 88 by 1851, and in 1855 the tribe signed a treaty surrendering its lands, including Johnson Creek. By the middle of the 19th century, European American settlers had begun to remove vegetation, build sawmills, fell trees, fill wetlands, and farm along Johnson Creek.
