It’s easy to find original historic charm and small town friendliness. Innovation, creativity and entrepreneurialism have inspired great things in this town. This extends to the preservation of its abundant groves of trees and designation as a “Tree City USA” community.

Forest Grove is known for founding the first university west of the Mississippi. Pacific University was the first chartered university in Oregon and today is a thriving member of the education scene in the Willamette Valley.
