Official LinkedIn page for the state of Oregon. Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is located on the Pacific coast, with Washington to the north, California to the south, Nevada on the southeast and Idaho to the east. The Columbia and Snake rivers delineate much of Oregon's northern and eastern boundaries, respectively. The area was inhabited by many indigenous tribes before the arrival of traders, explorers, and settlers who formed an autonomous government in Oregon Country in 1843. The Oregon Territory was created in 1848, and Oregon became the 33rd state on February 14, 1859.

Do you have a passion for Oregon, an appreciation of the unpredictable and somewhat maverick nature of this place we call home? Working for Travel Oregon is much more than a job. It is a life less ordinary, an eternal quest for the next farm-to-table meal, powdery slope, coastal sunrise, or cultural experience. Collaborating with stakeholders and partners to align as stewards of Oregon, we work to optimize economic opportunity, advance equity, and respect the ecosystems, cultures and places that make Oregon … Oregon. We are committed to a vision of Oregon that is a welcoming destination where tourism drives economic prosperity, benefits the natural environment, and celebrates rich, diverse cultures.
