Oregon, the state you may call home. It’s a diverse gathering of resources, industry, cities, farms, historic landmarks, and quirky facts.
Facts like the state’s nickname, Beaver State. It was chosen because of the important role the beaver played in Oregon’s history. Like the state motto, Alis volat propriis. The words mean “She flies with her own wings.” They honor the state’s independent spirit. Like the state bird, the western meadowlark, chosen by the state’s school children in 1927. And like the state flower – the Oregon grape. The flower was used by Native Americans as a medicine. It honors the state’s native peoples.
Oregon is a state with a rich history of people whose ancestors are from around the world and from right here on this land. Oregon is surely a one-of-a-kind kind of place.
