Few towns in western Oregon have histories as closely linked to the Long Tom River valley as Veneta. On the western side of the Willamette Valley, the city lies near Fern Ridge Reservoir, a flood-control reservoir on the Long Tom River that is used for boating, fishing and birdwatching. Veneta is also associated with the Oregon Country Fair, an arts, crafts and music gathering founded in 1969 and held on wooded grounds nearby. Its surroundings bring together farmland, low wooded hills and the broad valley floor west of Eugene.
