#PalacesAndGardens theme of #LastWords
"But if we're talking about actual Last Words, I think David Hill, #TenMinutesFromHome really has the winner for around here. As the founder OF Hillsboro, he has a whole city named for him. More in alt text."
#MickPic #MementoMori #Hillsboro #DavidHill

David Hill (1809–May 9, 1850) was a Connecticut-born pioneer, farmer, and prominent politician who arrived in the Oregon Country in 1841 and established the 640-acre land claim that later became downtown Hillsboro.

Early Life and Arrival in Oregon

• Journey: Hill traveled via wagon train over the Oregon Trail to the Oregon Territory, arriving around October 1841.
• Tualatin Valley: He wintered with Joseph L. Meek before securing a 640-acre donation land claim in what was then called Twality (Washington) County.
• Family: In 1846, he married Lucinda "Lucy" McWilliams Wilson Hill Simmons, who brought four children to the marriage.

Political and Civic Career

• Provisional Government: Hill was active in early Oregon governance, participating in the historic May 2, 1843, Champoeg Meeting where he voted for the Provisional Government.
• Executive Committee: He served as chair of the Legislative Committee and was elected to the three-man Executive Committee for 1843–1844, acting in effect as part of Oregon's first executive leadership ("co-governor").
• Legislatures: He served in the Provisional Legislature (1844–1849) and later in the Oregon Territory House of Representatives (1849–1850).
• Naming and Townsite: He set up the area's first post office inside his cabin in 1843 and named the locality Columbus. When Washington County was established and designated a county seat in 1849–1850, Hill sold a portion of his land claim to the county for the townsite and courthouse in exchange for $200 (which was later paid to his widow).

Death and Legacy

• Passing: David Hill died on May 9, 1850, at age 41.
• Hillsboro's Name: To honor his foundational role, the community—briefly called Columbus and Hillsborough—was named after him.
• Memorials:
	• He is buried at the Hillsboro Pioneer Cemetery on his original land claim.
	• His legacy is recognized in the Oregon State Capitol frieze.
	• David Hill Elementary School, Named for his legacy
