Welcome to Forest Grove, a great place to live, learn, work and play. Incorporated in 1872, Forest Grove maintains its original historic charm and small town friendliness while offering conveniences of a growing city of more than 20,000.

It offers scenic beauty of surrounding vineyards and rich agricultural lands, and has easy highway access into Portland's metropolitan district. Our economy is diverse and our top employers include a high tech circuit board manufacturer, a four-year accredited university, a timber company, and the makers of Maraschino cherries.
