The first day ceremony for the sesquicentennial of the Oregon Trail (Scott #2747) was originally to be held on February 14th, 1993, in Oregon City, OR, the terminus of the trail. A month before the ceremony, the USPS changed it to Salem, OR. The backlash resulted in 39 cities along the Oregon Trail being designated as official first-day-of-issue cities. Who has them all?
