Originally a destination for thousands of Oregon Trail pioneer settlers, today Oregon City boasts being a progressive community blending the old and new into a vibrant place to live, work, and play. The first U.S. incorporated city west of the Rockies, Oregon City is the county seat for Clackamas County. When you stop by, be sure to visit Willamette Falls, which has the first multi-lift navigational locks in the United States and is a national historical site. Oregon City can be reached via I-205 and neighbors West Linn and Gladstone.

If you are wanting to play a round of golf, the Oregon City Golf Course is on the southeast part of town off of Beavercreek road.
