According to an article in the Eugene Register dated July 4, 1891, the first store was opened in 1852 by James Huddleston on the east bank of the Willamette River as a trading post in Springfield, near Mill and Main Street.

In 1853, a small trading post was kept by J.N. Donalds near the corner of present-day Mill and Main Streets (Walling 1884:452).

Throughout its history, the Mill Pond served as a popular place to gather for picnics, canoing, fishing, and swimming. For a time, a diving board and changing room were erected at the corner of Mill and 28th.
