Gilbert Elledy Gable (June 1, 1886 - December 2, 1941) was a public relations man who became mayor of Port Orford, Oregon in the 1930s. In 1941, he became the center of the ultimately failed movement to create the state of Jefferson from counties in southern Oregon and northern California. Gable died of a heart attack on December 2, 1941. While various other people created a quasi-government and attempted to continue without Gable, the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 killed the momentum for statehood.

abstract
  • Gilbert Elledy Gable (June 1, 1886 - December 2, 1941) was a public relations man who became mayor of Port Orford, Oregon in the 1930s. In 1941, he became the center of the ultimately failed movement to create the state of Jefferson from counties in southern Oregon and northern California. Gable died of a heart attack on December 2, 1941. While various other people created a quasi-government and attempted to continue without Gable, the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 killed the momentum for statehood. Gable's motivations are debated, with some arguing he was sincere in his goal of creating a new state, and others suggesting he was engaged in a cynical publicity stunt in order to help recover from certain financial problems.
