The largest city in Oregon in terms of both size and population, Portland is a vibrant city full of wonderful and unique food options, beautiful natural scenery, and one of the most exciting culture scenes you can find anywhere in the United States. Founded in 1845, Portland was named after the city of Portland, Maine. The area was originally used as a port city and was mostly used for the lumber industry, due to the abundance of trees in the area and its accessibility to the Pacific Ocean via the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. The city is nestled at the most northern end of the Willamette Valley and is surrounded by hills and in between two mountain ranges, the Coastal Range and the Cascade Range. Portland is 60 miles east of the Pacific Ocean and about two hours west from the popular destination of Mount Hood, making it a desirable area for those who enjoy the outdoors. The city itself boasts an incredible amount of parkland, nearly 16% of the entire city. With Portland having so many options for activities, it’s hard to be bored in the country’s “smallest big city.” The city offers numerous museums, theatres, concert halls, a beautiful zoo, and sports teams as well. Portland is home to two major sports teams, the Portland Trailblazers of the NBA and the Portland Timbers of the MLS. You can watch a game, enjoy unique dining options, try out one of the many microbreweries in the city, or grab a cup of famous Stumptown Coffee. Whatever it is you’re looking for, Portland has so much to offer.
