Oregon is a state in the Western United States.

The origin of the name is not known for sure. It may have been derived from a 1715 French map which refers to the Wisconsin River as "Ouaricon-sint" or the name "Oregon" may come from an English army officer's proposal for a trip in 1765, in which he refers to "the River called by the Indians Ouragon."

Oregon was admitted as the 33rd state on February 14, 1859.
