Lane County, Oregon
The County was named after the territory's first governor, Joseph Lane. Located in west central portion of the state, the boundaries have been changed several times. Because of the rich fertile soil, the economy has been based primarily on timber and agriculture. However the timber industry has been slumping as of late. It is predicted that it will change in the coming years to services and high technology.
The county stretches from Willamette Pass to the Pacific Ocean. Within this area there are a variety of activities, attractions, and sights. No matter what you like, you are sure to find an activity for your weekend. Eugene is the county seat. The University of Oregon is located in Eugene and the Hult Center for the Performing Arts is also located here. From the coastal sand dunes to Proxy Falls, from McKenzie Pass to the Heceta Head Lighthouse your weekends can be filled with the sights and activities through out the County.
