Tangent

Few communities in Oregon have a history as closely tied to a straight railway alignment as Tangent. Its name refers to the tangent section of track that gave the settlement an identity during the railroad era. Tangent is an unincorporated community in Linn County, set in the Willamette Valley between Albany and Corvallis. The surrounding lowland is defined by working farmland and the broad, open character of western Oregon’s interior rather than by an urban skyline. Corvallis, home to Oregon State University, lies nearby and adds a major academic presence to the area.
