Local History
Eugene is named after its founder, Eugene Franklin Skinner.
In 1846, Skinner erected the first cabin in the area. It was used
as a trading post and was dubbed as a post office in 1850. It was
known as Skinner's Mudhole. Skinner founded Eugene in 1862 and later
ran a ferry service across the Willamette River where the Ferry Street
Bridge now stands. In 1873, community member J. H. D. Henderson donated
the hilltop land for the campus, overlooking the city. The University
first opened in 1876 with regents electing first faculty and naming
John Wesley Johnson as president with the first students registering
on 16 October 1876. It would not be until 1877 that the first Univercity
building would be completed.
