Eugene, University city in Willamette Valley, Oregon, United States

Located at the southern end of the Willamette Valley, Eugene stretches along the McKenzie and Willamette rivers, covering 44 square miles of diverse terrain.

The settlement began in 1846 when Eugene Skinner constructed the first pioneer cabin, transforming from a small outpost known as Skinner's Mudhole into an incorporated city by 1862.

The Saturday Market, established in 1970 as the first of its kind in the United States, brings together local artisans, food vendors, and musicians every weekend.

The Eugene Airport connects travelers to major West Coast destinations, while the city maintains 4,800 acres of parks and open spaces for community recreation.

The city holds multiple track and field championships at Hayward Field, which contributed to the formation of Nike and earned Eugene the title 'Track Town USA'.
