The history of Eugene goes back to 1846, when its namesake Eugene Franklin Skinner built a cabin here that came to be used as a trading post and post office. In the beginning the site was called Skinner's Mudhole, but was renamed Eugene in 1862.
The history of education in Eugene goes back to 1856, when the Cumberland Presbyterian Church founded the now defunct Columbia College. Dispute and conflict among church denominations led to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church withdrawing its financial support. Removed of its vital lifeline, the college closed down in 1860, just four years after it was founded. Then in 1876 the University of Oregon was founded in Eugene, and is still functioning today as the third oldest public university in Oregon.
