          Oregon
                    A gathering of pioneers at Champoeg adopts the first code of laws for what now is Oregon. The code                     is adopted from the code of Iowa simply because a new arrival happened to have a copy of the Iowa                     code with him. Because the Iowa law didn’t outlaw sodomy, neither did Oregon.
