Albert Alonzo Durham was an American miller who founded the city of Oswego, Oregon, which became Lake Oswego.
Sometime before 1830, his family moved to Ohio where he married Miranda Almira White on November 6, 1836.
In 1847, Durham and his family moved to Oregon and founded the town of Oswego, building a mill which became the town's first business.
