Sherwood: ORE99W at Tualatin
Few places in the Tualatin Valley have a history as closely tied to farming as Sherwood. The settlement began as Smockville in 1885 and was renamed Sherwood in 1891, reflecting the agricultural communities that developed west of Portland. It stands south of the Tualatin River, a Willamette River tributary whose valley has long supported farms and nurseries. Oregon Route 99W, the Pacific Highway West, passes through the city and links the Portland area with towns towards McMinnville. Sherwood now combines its older downtown with expanding residential and commercial districts, while wooded edges and cultivated land remain part of the wider valley setting.

Sherwood lies along the northern Willamette Valley, between the Tualatin Basin and the Chehalem Mountains, where residential districts meet the farms and vineyards of Washington County. Part of the Portland metropolitan area, it still has a compact Old Town centered on a historic railroad depot and independent local businesses. The annual Robin Hood Festival recalls the English Sherwood Forest that gave the community its name and remains a prominent local tradition.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
