Once called the Oregon territory which also spread into present day Idaho, and Washington up to the 49th. One of the most sparsly populated states in America. Forestry, Tourism, and Hi Tech manufacturing are the backbone of the economy. Oregon has one of the most regimented and well organized recycling programs in the nation. Largest city is Portland and greater area. Eugene is the capital.
By far the best example of what America has to offer from what I have seen. The landscape is breathtaking and majestic as well as unspoiled. Being from British Columbia in Canada I appreciate such things. Portland Oregon is a world class city with clean streets, great pubs, good public transportation and attractive ladies.

I am writing this in response to all the horrible mistakes people have written about oregon. 1st we hate californians because they move here and raise the price of houses and clutter up our street, and they can't drive, and not be cause we were them. 2nd. what kind of moron thinks that Eugene is the capital? It's salem you loser look at a map. 3rd We are fans of 2 colleges Oregon State and University of Oregon. Oregon State's colors are not green and yellow as some genious sugested in their definition. Oregon State's colors are Orange and Black. University of Oregons colors are green and yellow.
Oregon Rocks, we have everything. Beaches, Mountains, Rivers, and people who pump our gas for us.

The best state in the USA. The land is lush, the mountains are amazing, and the rain is the best scent you'll ever experience. The summers are amazing--quite warm, but never muggy--and the winters are the perfect time to go skiing on one of Oregon's many amazing mountains!
Oregonians are quite proud of their heritage when encountered on the east coast and take very personally when east coasters pronounce their state incorrectly.
P.S.~Oregonians can pronounce Nevada correctly, too.

Oregon is pronounced similar to carbon, not polygon.
Or-eh-gun.
Oregon suffers from a moderately poor economy, however nobody really notices it because there's so many services, and so many other cool things about Oregon that you'd never care if it did effect you, unless you're a Californian by heart.
However, I'm obligated to say that Oregon REALLY sucks, so you won't move in.
