Charles Meigs

Charles R. Meigs (1831 – 1883) was an American lawyer and politician who served as a delegate to the Oregon Constitutional Convention representing Wasco County. He was the only delegate representing the territory east of Cascade Mountains.

During the convention he wanted to make Cascades the eastern border of the state. In this he's supported by Delazon Smith and his own plans of making Oregon a coastal state centered on Willamette River valley. But due to these plans, he's been accused of following the self-interest of his hometown, The Dalles city, and his proposal is denied.

In 1864 he's admitted by the Supreme Court as a prosecuting attorney, but after that he left the state.
