The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was established in 1967 to manage and administer programs for the protection of the state's historic and cultural resources. When these resources disappear communities can lose tangible and educational assets that contribute directly to Oregon's heritage, and also opportunities for local economic development. SHPO staff is here to assist city planners and other officials, property owners, and preservation groups to find forward-thinking solutions to protect and preserve our past.
