Cornelius is a town that sits on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon’s largest city. For visitors to the area looking for the best of both worlds, they will enjoy the combination of vibrant city life and open countryside.

It was back in 1845 when the town first came into being following the arrival of Benjamin Cornelius and his family who settled in the area and began establishing farms on the land. However, it wasn't until 1893 when Cornelius was officially incorporated and before this, the area was known as Free Orchards. Today the town forms part of Washington County, and the area is popular with tourists primarily due to the convenient Tualatin Valley Highway that lies to the west of town and runs all the way from McMinnville and Beaverton.
