Oregon Country (Q388164)

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Oregon Country was a large region of the Pacific Northwest of North America that was subject to a long dispute between the United Kingdom and the United States in the early 19th century. The area, which had been demarcated by the Treaty of 1818, consisted of the land north of 42° N latitude, south of 54°40′ N latitude, and west of the Rocky Mountains down to the Pacific Ocean and east to the Continental Divide. Article III of the 1818 treaty gave joint control to both nations for ten years, allowed land to be claimed, and guaranteed free navigation to all mercantile trade. However, both countries disputed the terms of the international treaty. Oregon Country was the American name, while the British used Columbia District for the region.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

El Oregon Country (traducido como País del Oregón y designado como un distintivo del territorio de Oregón y actual estado de Oregón), era el nombre con el que se conocía la región del noroeste de América del Norte situada al oeste de las Montañas Rocosas, hasta el océano Pacífico, y comprendida, aproximadamente, entre las latitudes 42° N y 54°40' N. su origen más que probable se debió a españoles que lo llamaron con el nombre español de la zona de Aragón en España, que por pronunciación indígena acabó en Oregón.
