Established in 1847, nearly 12 years before Oregon became a state in 1859, the county is the state's fourth smallest in terms of area and medium-sized with respect to population. Corvallis is home to Oregon State University (OSU), the city's largest employer. Most of the rest of the county is farm and forest land, reflecting a much treasured rural heritage.
The quality of life here is very high, a perfect blend of rural, urban, and small town living, with unlimited access to Oregon's coveted outdoor lifestyle. Corvallis is dynamic, safe, and friendly, a thriving college town with many cultural offerings.

The area offers a variety of outdoor recreational activities year-round, with easy access to the mountains, ocean, rivers, streams, and wilderness. The Oregon Coast is an hour away. Corvallis is a gold-level Bike Friendly Community with bike lanes on 98 percent of the collector and arterial roadways and eighteen miles of multi-use paths.
