Community Spotlight: Corvallis Oregon

Corvallis is located in central western Oregon in the Benton County.  It is one of the larger cities in Oregon with a current population of 54,462.  The name Corvallis comes from the latin phrase cor vallis meaning "heart of the valley".  This makes perfect sense because it is situated right in the middle of the Willamette Valley, an area known for its natural beauty and its wine production.

The community of Corvallis mostly revolves around Oregon State University, which is the largest local employer and brings in over 20,000 students every year.  Other major employers include Samaritan Health Services and Hewlett-Packard.

The largest local event is da Vinci Days, which is a summer celebration of art, science and technology.  Some of the events include a film festival, live musical performances a kinetic sculpture race, and activities put on by Oregon State's science and engineering departments.
