* Medford: Located in southern Oregon, Medford functions as the regional hub for both southern Oregon and far-northern California. Its location in the Rogue Valley gives it a warmer, sunnier climate than most other cities in Oregon. The city's economy is primarily focused on agriculture and fruit (particularly pears), as such, it is one of the few reliably conservative population centers in Oregon. On a more negative note, the city boasts an above-average crime rate for its size, which has given it the unfortunate nickname "Methford".

* Roseburg: Located in southern Oregon, roughly halfway between Eugene and Medford, Roseburg is primarily known for its timber industry, so much so that Music/JohnnyCash mentioned the town in his song "Lumberjack". Most of the city's downtown was devastated in 1959 when a truck carrying dynamite and nitro carbo nitrate parked next to a building that later caught fire and exploded, killing a total of 14 people.

[[http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu130/jate88/Oregon_co_lines_zpszpljfpn0.jpg The state is divided into four main areas:]] Willamette Valley, Coast, Eastern Oregon, and Southern Valleys. All of the rivers in the Willamette Valley, and most in Eastern Oregon, eventually flow into the Columbia and from there to the Pacific Ocean. Rivers in the Coastal Region and Southern Valleys flow directly to the Pacific. A decent-sized chunk of Eastern Oregon is in the Great Basin, a series of basins with one thing in common—''none'' of their rivers flow into any ocean.[[note]]With the occasional exception of the Goose Lake basin, which historically flowed into California's Pit River, in turn draining into San Francisco Bay through the Sacramento River. Due to water diversions in modern times, the lake now only flows into the Pit River during rare high water events.[[/note]]
* ''The Willamette Valley'', which stretches from Portland to Eugene, is the largest population center in the state, containing 70% of the state's population. The Valley is between the Coast Range and the volcanic Cascade Mountains. Its fantastic soil made it highly desirable farming land and the final destination of VideoGame/TheOregonTrail. This is almost indisputably the most liberal part of the state.[[note]]Democratic governor John Kitzhaber won the gubernatorial election of 2010 mainly thanks to huge victory margins in Multnomah and Lane counties, which respectively hold Portland and Eugene.[[/note]] Both of the big college football teams, the Oregon State University Beavers and University of Oregon Ducks, are located here (in Corvallis and Eugene, respectively), who every year hold a "Civil War" game that consumes the attention of local football fans. The trophy for winning the competition used to have a platypus (aka an animal that looks halfway between the two teams' mascots) on it before it got lost in a closet for a few decades. Veneta hosts the annual Oregon Country Fair, a weekend-long festival started in 1969--and arguably, it has never left the Summer of Love culturally speaking. Expect a lot of people in tie-dye, people in weird costumes (particularly young women) going topless, as well as music, counter-cultural activism, the ever-present smell of weed, and booths selling either art or food. And that's only during the day: what happens after hours is only speculated at by those who don't have booths or who haven't paid for camping.
* ''The Coast'': Long stretch of rocky and wet coastline. Large fishing population along with timber production. Now popular for tourism. The Lookout Air Raid took place in this region. [[Film/FreeWilly Keiko the whale]] lived for quite a while at the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
* ''Eastern Oregon'', the least populated part of the state, makes up two-thirds of Oregon's land area. High desert to full desert/prairie. Much more conservative than the rest of the state, which (as mentioned) has led to secession proposals that have gone nowhere. Ranching is popular. Large segments are owned by the Federal Government. It got a mild amount of infamy in the '80s when Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, a New Age {{cult}} leader, moved in with his followers and did your typical cult things—exploiting followers as cheap labor, discouraging family connections, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and buying a truly remarkable amount of Rolls-Royces]]—as well as intentionally infecting the salad bars of a bunch of restaurants in The Dalles with salmonella in order to incapacitate enough people to win some county elections (the single largest bioterrorist attack in U.S. history). When the U.S. Attorney for Oregon started investigating them for that and some other illegal activity, they tried to assassinate him. You can see why most Oregonians mostly associate Eastern Oregon with being kookaburra. More recently, Bend has achieved a measure of Internet fame by being home to the world's last surviving Blockbuster Video location.
* ''The Southern Valleys'': Several different rivers (Klamath, Rogue, and Umpqua) that find their own way from the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean. Large timber and mineral resources left mostly untapped due to federal regulations. Tends to be rather libertarian, leading to a long-standing secessionist movement that has also involved neighboring parts of California (see above); Jefferson State is a popular term for the broader cross-border region. Physically located in Southern Oregon, but more culturally in line with the Willamette Valley, is Ashland, home of the world-famous Oregon [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare]] Festival.

*Salem: The capital of Oregon, Salem is the third city to hold that title, being preceded by Oregon City and Corvallis. Salem is also a major agricultural center, due to its central location in the Willamette Valley. Because many of Salem's northern suburbs bleed into Portland's southern suburbs, many consider Salem a satellite city of Portland.

The city's location on the Deschutes River between the Cascade Mountains and the Oregon High Desert have given it a reputation as an outdoorsman's paradise.

Following the 19th century, Oregonian history becomes rather dull. The most exciting thing to happen to Oregon in the 20th century was the Lookout Air Raids, which was the only attack by UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan on the contiguous U.S. during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. A total of six people were killed. Nowadays, Oregon is known for its left-wing, green politics. Rural parts of the state tend to be as right-wing as it gets, but the left-leaning urban areas always outvote them anyway - fully 50% of the state's population lives in metro Portland, and Eugene/Springfield and Bend account for another 25% or so between them, so the sort of good ol' boy tricks seen in the South and Midwest to gerrymander the cities out of political relevance are overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
