Forest Grove, Educational city in Washington County, Oregon.
Forest Grove spans across the Tualatin Valley with Oregon Routes 8 and 47 connecting the city to Portland, located 25 miles to the east.
The settlement began in 1840 as a farming community, becoming the first incorporated city in Washington County by 1872 with a population of early Oregon Trail settlers.
Pacific University's Old College Hall stands as one of the oldest educational buildings west of the Mississippi River, featuring the original oak grove that inspired the city name.
The downtown farmers market operates every Wednesday from May through October, offering local produce and products from regional vendors along Main Street.
The area contains six estate wineries and the only sake brewery in the Pacific Northwest, contributing to the local beverage production industry.
