Oregon was made a part of the United States in 1846 and it was admitted as the 33rd state in 1859. That same year, the 33rd star was added to the national flag. The origins of the name Oregon are not known officially but one theory says that it comes from a French word ouragan which means hurricane. Another theory is that the name refers to a mythical river of the west named Ouragon. Oregon’s nickname is the Beaver State. The capital city is Salem, while its largest city is Portland. Oregon’s flag carries two separate designs featuring a beaver on its reverse side. Oregon has over 106,000 miles of rivers and streams and over 75 major lakes. It has a population of around 4 million, which makes it the 27th most populous U.S. state. The Beaver State has 36 counties, and the largest cities are:
