History & geography

History

Brownsville was originally known as "Calapooya" after the area's original inhabitants, the Kalapuya Native People, or "Kirk's Ferry", after the ferry operated across the Calapooia River by early settlers Alexander and Sarah Kirk. When Linn County was created from the southern portion of Champoeg County on December 28, 1847, the Provisional Legislature named Calapooia as the county seat. The Spaulding School in Brownsville served as the original county courthouse. In 1851, the Territorial Legislature passed an act establishing Albany as the county seat. In the mid-1980s, Brownsville assumed a modicum of international renown as the location for the film Stand by Me, directed by Rob Reiner. The film was shot in and around the community in June and July 1985, with theatrical release in August 1986. Another prominent landmark is the First Baptist Church of Brownsville building. Constructed in the mid-19th century, it housed one of the earliest pioneer congregations in the Oregon Territory.
