Newberg: ORE219 at ORE18
Few communities in Oregon have a history as closely tied to Quaker settlement as Newberg. Founded in the 1880s by Quaker pioneers, the city developed on the south bank of the Willamette River in the broad Willamette Valley. Its Quaker legacy remains part of local civic life through George Fox University, a private Christian university whose origins lie in Friends Pacific Academy. Newberg stands within Oregon’s leading wine-growing country, with the Chehalem Mountains rising north of town and vineyards spread across the surrounding hills. The city also lies near the junction of Oregon Routes 18 and 219, important state-road links for the valley.

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.
