Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Cornelius, Oregon sounds more like the name of a Victorian adventurer than an area. The "Victorian" is right because the city was incorporated in 1893. So is "adventurer" because T.R. Cornelius fought in five battles before becoming a colonel and then serving in the Territorial Legislature. He eventually established a warehouse and store to develop the community that eventually bore his name.
The city sees itself as "Oregon's Family Town" because it's a place where grandma, mom and pop, and little Johnny and Mary can stroll into area grocery stores and call everyone by their first name. Among the surrounding patchwork of green and brown agricultural field, the community's splotch of gray offers shopping and restaurants. For more fun, try one of the nearby wineries, pick-your-produce farms, or the golf course. View Cornelius City Guide
