This Pacific Northwest state has a population of approximately 3,645,000. The highest recorded temperature was 119 F and the lowest was -54 F. English and Spanish sailors spotted the Oregon coast in both the 1500s and the 1600s. Capt. Cook mapped part of the coastline while he was seeking the Northwest Passage. Capt. Robert Gray, helming the Columbia, discovered the River and he named it after his ship.
A fur depot called Astoria, and established by John Astor, was formed in 1811. American settlers as well as the Hudson Bay Company fought over Oregon. The Oregon Treaty of 1846 resolved the conflict. Great Britain then gave it up, and left. There is a large $3.3 billion wood and lumber industry, as well as a $859 million paper industry in Oregon. The salmon industry is one of the biggest in the world. Oregon grows a lot of peppermint, blackberries, boysenberries, cover seed crops, black raspberries, loganberries, and hazelnuts. It also does well with red raspberries, hops, snap beans, onions, and prunes.
The state has a healthy manufacturing industry, because of the low cost of electric power from its dams. They make a lot of plywood and lumber products, machinery, metalwork, chemicals, aluminum, food packing products, paper products, and electronic equipment. Some of the stunning sights to see in Oregon include Crater Lake National Park, Bonneville Dam, Mount Hood, Hells Canyon, Newberry Volcanic National Monument, and the Columbia River Gorge. Oregon has a coastline, large evergreen forests, and a host of other, very attractive features.
