Salem, the capital of the state of Oregon, USA, is located on the Willamette
River, 80 km southwest of Portland. The city has 169,798 residents (U.S. Census,
2017).
Indigenous peoples, including the Kalapuya tribe, lived in the area for
thousands of years with the Willamette Valley as their main area. The first
whites who settled here in 1812 were fur hunters from Astoria, Oregon. Methodist
priest Jason Lee led a group that came to the area in 1840 and established the
forerunner to Salem - Wheatland - in 1842.
Salem is a trading center with some industry, especially in food
processing. Willamette University is located in Salem, which became the capital
of the Oregon Territory in 1851, and the state capital when Oregon became a
state in the United States in 1859. Every year in August, a major State Fair is
held in the city.
Salem is a common city name in the United States, with cities in New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio and Missouri.
Portland is the largest city in the state of Oregon in the United States and
is located on the Willamette River near its outlet on the Columbia River, 160
miles from the Pacific Ocean. The city has 647,805 residents, and is the core of
a larger metropolitan area with 2,453,168 residents also extending
into Washington (U.S. Census, 2017).
Portland is Oregon's largest city and economic center, and an important port
and trade city with shipyards, food and groceries, textiles, chemical, wood and
wood processing industries.
The city is the seat of Lewis and Clark College, founded 1867, University of
Portland, founded 1901, Portland State University, founded 1946, Portland
Community College, founded 1961 and several other colleges. Portland has long
been known as the "City of Roses" and has its annual Rose Festival in
June.
