    The first recorded ferry in Oregon was on the Willamette River near present-day Wheatland.[1] This ferry was built during 1843–1844 and operated by Jesse Applegate when he occupied the former Methodist Mission at Mission Bottom. Daniel Matheny later started the Wheatland Ferry in the 1850s around the same location.[1]
    The Michel Laframboise Ferry operated on the Willamette running between Champoeg on the south bank and the north bank of the river.[2] The ferry operated from 1850 to 1857.[2]

    Boones Ferry was operated starting in 1847 by Alphonso Boone, the grandson of Daniel Boone. This ferry remained in operation near Wilsonville until 1954, when a bridge was built over the Willamette near the site.[3]

    Polk and Marion counties
    Discontinued ferries in Polk and Marion County include the Claggett at Independence, which ran until 1950.[4] Hales Ferry, near Jefferson, operated as early as 1846, and another Jefferson ferry was run by Jacob Conser in 1848.[1] Doaks Ferry operated six miles (10 km) north of Salem. It was established in the 1840s by Andrew Jackson Doak, and sold in 1860 to Jesse Walling, who platted Lincoln, Oregon.[1] Doaks Ferry Road is named for it. Spongs Ferry operated at Spong's Landing, now a Marion County park, on the opposite side of the river from Doaks.[5] Halls Ferry operated beginning in 1868 about six miles (10 km) south of Salem, and Halls Ferry Road still exists today.[6] The ferry was started by Isaac (or Noah) Leabo, who sold to it Benjamin Franklin (B. F.) Hall in either 1882 or 1884, when it became known as Halls Ferry.[6] B. F. Hall's father, Reason B. Hall, was the founder of the Buena Vista Ferry in 1852, which still operates to this day. Halls Ferry changed hands twice and was subsequently renamed, first to "Croisan's Ferry" and later to "Pettyjohn's Ferry".[6] It is uncertain when the ferry ceased operations. There was also a "Halls Ferry" railroad station at this locale.[6]
