Correction on the age of Oregon City, Oregon. Aaron stated at the start of the video that Oregon City is "Over one hundred years old". It is actually closer to two hundred years old as it was
founded in 1829 and incorporated as a city in 1844. It was the first American city incorporated west of the Mississippi. At that time the Oregon territory incompassed what is presently Washington State, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming. Oregon City was ther territorial city of the whole Oregon Territory at that time. It also is the end of the Oregon trail that saw thousands of covered wagon migrants that moved westward during the expansion period of the USA. So history runs deep in this city. .

Thanks Don! A very rich history in Oregon City!

How about Saint Helen?

Great video. There are no old growth Douglas Fir, Cider, or Pines trees in LO. Old growth trees are over one hundred years old. Most of the old growth trees were cut down for farming years ago. LO has 80 year old trees.

Hi Ernie, Thanks for the watch! There are over 20 confirmed 100 year old trees in LO, probably many more. This was confirmed back in 2010 at the bicentennial LO celebration. We even have a tree that is 300 years old! Three of the trees identified were growing here during the time
of the first peoples, the Kalapuyans and Clowewallas. They
are all Douglas-firs: the oldest on a trail at the end of Brookside
Road (in Iron Mtn. Park), the Peg Tree in Old Town, and the
Firwood Road Douglas-fir. Two of them were
cored to provide more precise ages. The Iron Mountain tree
is over 300 years old, and the Firwood Road Douglas-fir is
175 years. The famous Peg Tree has not been cored because
its bark is too thick for a standard corer. Through historical
data describing it as a meeting place and a Sunday school
dating after the 1850’s, and analyzing its size on an 1936 aerial
photo in comparison to today, the Peg Tree’s age has been
determined to be at least 200 years.

Born and raised around the Portland area. Portland is not what it was just 7 years ago. Prices are now similar to Socal but with 9 monhs of rain. I moved to the coast of California and was able to get a place for about the same price I would pay in Portland. Best decision of my life.

Glad you found a place that's a good fit and you're happy! What town did you move to?

Portland started its downward slide when Sam Adams became mayor. Next up was Charlie Hales, then came Ted Wheeler, Portland's version of the Three Stooges. Metro's current Chair is pathetic. Bad leadership equals a toxic dysfunctional city. "Catch & release" DA Schmidt was voted out in the recent election, a positive step forward. If anyone is thinking of moving here, pick someplace on the west side of the city, the east side is a mess for the most part.
