Every year on the 4th of July, the Molalla Buckeroo Rodeo is held in Molalla. This extravaganza, which attracts crowds of up to 15,000 people, first began in 1913 when the railroad was constructed. In the earlier days, the event was sponsored by the local fire brigade as a way of raising funds to finance a new battalion of horses to pull the fire engine (which, incidentally, had no engine).
The city of Molalla, even though the name may seem to have Hawaiian connotations, is located in Clackamas County, Oregon. It's situated within the foothills of the Cascade Range, which is near Mount Hood National Forest, some 15 miles to the south of Oregon City. Due to its proximity to Oregon City and the world-class city of Portland, it's an attractive, easygoing town where many commuters choose to take up residence. Molalla is surrounded by farmlands and rural residential development. The economy is driven by the thousands of acres of timberlands surrounding the city. Many of the tree farms are maintained with a philosophy of sustainable forestry. There are plenty of trails in the area for those who enjoy hiking, walking or cycling, so there's absolutely no reason for a couch potato mentality. View Molalla City Guide
