Oregon is a state in North West USA, on the
Pacific coast, nickname Beaver State. It has
an area of 251,500sq km (97,079sq miles).
Its capital is Salem. Its towns include
Portland, and Eugene. Oregon Territory
included Washington until 1853, Oregon
achieved statehood in 1859. It remained
relatively isolated until the completion of
the first transcontinental railroad link in
1883. Improved transportation helped make it
the nation's leading lumber producer and a
major exporter of food products.
