We often associate places with the historical events we know happened there and sometimes it might be the reason we travel, to commemorate and to visit these sites and museums. Places in the U.S. were also named after cities, towns and people in the old world or sometimes they simply described the geography of a place, often in local languages.

Just west of Portland is an area that encompasses much of what there is to love about Oregon – but it’s not a name on everyone’s lips.

Airline network planners may have taken an extended holiday break in January, but they were back in full force this month.

Rainbow-like stripes of vibrant tulips as far as the eye can see. White, lavender, deep purple, and even rare yellow and blue lilacs perfuming the air. Acres of fluffy cotton candy-colored peonies as big as salad plates. And 500 varieties of irises in just one charming display garden.

If sleek, Scandi-style bungalows, private hot tubs open to the stars, and panoramic views of the snow-dusted Cascade Mountain Range sound like the perfect backdrop for a getaway, consider Brasada Ranch — a modern and luxe retreat in Oregon’s high desert playground.

With Stonehenge, Avebury and Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire is the English county most associated with Neolithic stone circles and barrows.
