Untitled[edit]

The City of Oregon was carved out of a rural farm area east of Toledo, Ohio during the mid 20th century. Until about 1980 it grew and flourished as a small, but growing community with a rural base.

The community has excellent police, fire and EMS department. Garbage pick up and snow removal are excellent. There is an area Metro Park, Pearson Park, located in town. It is an outstanding resource that is about to double in size making it an entire square mile. On the fringe of the City is a state park, Maumee Bay State Park. This is another outstanding resource for the entire area.

There are a few negative aspects of the City of Oregon. The City is home to two oil refineries. Although they have “cleaned up their act” in recent years. Perhaps the biggest problems at this time is the local hazardous waste dumping facility. They were operating for almost nine years without an Ohio EPA permit because the renewal permit application was being reviewed. Recently the Ohio EPA, against all good judgment,renewed their permit for an additional ten years. The city is also home to a few high (500-900’) TV towers.

The Lost Peninsula of Monroe County, Michigan[edit]

Does the city of Oregon separate the "Lost Peninsula" that is politically part of Monroe County, Michigan from the rest of Monroe County--i.e., to get from the Lost Peninsula to any other part of Monroe County, you must travel through Lucas County, Ohio to do so. Or is the part of Ohio that separates the Lost Peninsula from the rest of Monroe County part of the City of Toledo or an unincorporated part of Lucas County?

The neighborhood of Point Place in the city of Toledo separates the Lost Peninsula from the rest of Michigan. This section should be removed from the Oregon article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.40.125 (talk) 22:57, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of Oregon[edit]
