General Description |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of
the United
States. It is located on the Pacific
coast,
with Washington
to the north, California to the south, Nevada
on the southeast and Idaho to the east. The Columbia
and Snake
rivers delineate much of Oregon's northern and eastern boundaries
respectively. The area was inhabited by many indigenous tribes before the
arrival of traders, explorers and settlers; the Oregon
Territory was created in 1848, and Oregon became the 33rd state on
February 14, 1859. Salem is the state's capital
and third-most-populous city; Portland
is the most populous. Portland is the 30th-largest U.S. city, with a
population of 575,930 (2008 estimate) and a metro population of 2,175,133
(2007 estimate), the 23rd-largest U.S. metro area. |
