Oregon's Family Town

The firms that supply the farms are among the largest employers in the city.

Imagine the crossroads of Oregon's high-tech Silicon Forest and a rich agricultural community and you have Cornelius, Oregon.

Situated between Hillsboro and Forest Grove, Cornelius is a growing city that has maintained its agricultural heritage.

Its farming community provides agricultural products to the Portland metro area and beyond, the Oregon coast, and as far as Cowlitz County in Washington State. The firms that supply and service those farms are among the largest employers inside the city limits.
