About Oregon

Oregon is in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.  The state is bordered by Washington, Nevada, California, and the Pacific Ocean.  Two-thirds of the state experience dry air and a continental climate.  The terrain of Oregon is diverse and truly breathtaking.  You will see narrow coastal plains of soft, sandy beaches, dense pastures, and promontories near the Pacific shoreline.  Western Oregon is famous for its mountainous region where you will see three of the most popular mountain peaks in the US including Mount Hood.  The Columbia River, one of the largest rivers of North America, makes up the Northern border of Oregon and significantly contributes to Oregon’s economic and cultural development.

Oregon is mostly an agricultural state where wheat, snap beans, broccoli, and strawberries are grown, among other crops.  Logging was one of the most famous industries of Oregon due to its abundant, rich forestlands.  However, many areas of the forests have been closed off to logging in a bid to conserve the wildlife.

Cheap electricity is powered by the numerous dams scattered across the state.  Oregon proudly houses the John Day Dam, one of the largest hydropower generators in the world.  Salmon fishing is a huge industry in Oregon and tuna and crab come in second and third.

Tourism is another major industry in Oregon, and it is no wonder.  Oregon has breathtaking oceans and beaches, lakes, and mountains that hold tourists spellbound.
