Forest Grove: Washington County - Fern Hill Rd at Taylor Way
Forest Grove sits at the western edge of the Tualatin Valley in northwestern Oregon, where the developed town meets working farmland and the valley stretches west toward the Coast Range. Fern Hill Road and Taylor Way lie on the eastern side of town, within Washington County’s mix of residential streets, roadside businesses and agricultural land. Forest Grove is home to Pacific University, founded in 1849 and regarded as one of Oregon’s oldest higher-education institutions. Its historic downtown is organized around Pacific Avenue, while the surrounding valley remains closely tied to nurseries, farms and rural roads. The Tualatin River runs through the valley south of the city before joining the Willamette River.

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.

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.
