Oregon, US
Oregon: State of the United States of America
About
The state of Oregon is a place of endless possibilities. It's home to the tallest trees in the world, the deepest lake in North America, and more than 60% of all wildflowers in the U.S. The state is also known as a hub for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, and is one of only eight states with its own lottery (the Oregon Lottery).
The state capital is Salem, which is located in Marion County along the Willamette River. The city was founded in 1842 by William H. Willamette and named after him when he died in 1851. Salem has been a center for transportation since its founding—it was originally used as a port for freight ships traveling upriver to Portland and beyond, but it also became an important stop on the Oregon Trail during its early days.
Salem's population today stands at approximately 4 million people (according to 2020 census numbers), making it one of the most populous cities in Oregon!
