Biographical / Historical
The Seal of the State of Oregon is the official seal of the U.S. state of Oregon. A committee composed of three prominent Oregonians presented the design for the seal to the Constitutional Convention of 1857, two years before Oregon joined the Union. The chosen design was submitted by Harvey Gordon (1828-1862), a surveyor by profession. The components of the seal each have symbolic significance.
