Forest Grove

Built around a clearing in the oak forest that gave it its name, Forest Grove grew into a university city in Oregon’s Tualatin Valley. Pacific University traces its beginnings to Tualatin Academy, founded here in 1849; Old College Hall, completed the following year, remains a link to those early days. Downtown combines independent businesses with historic commercial architecture, while the Coast Range rises west of the valley. Forest Grove also lies in Washington County’s agricultural country, known for farms and vineyards.
