Oregon Hill

… community in N Rockingham County served by post office, 1853-66 and 1868-1909. Located between the heads of Quaqua and Lovelace Creeks. It is said that a man stopped there early in the nineteenth century on his way to Oregon but never got any farther, so he called the site Oregonville and the name evolved. Nearby Guerrant Springs was a popular resort later in the century and into the early 1900s.
