Polk County sprawls across Oregon’s Willamette Valley, west of Salem. It’s where city meets country. Western Oregon University calls Monmouth home.

The county seat is Dallas. But Drive a few miles and you’re surrounded by vineyards. Wine country, anyone? Yep, Polk is known for its Pinot Noir. It’s also big on Christmas trees.

Baskett Slough Wildlife Refuge is a bird-watcher’s paradise. The Willamette River forms the eastern border. Polk County is characterized by its rolling hills and fertile soil. The county’s named after James K. Polk, 11th U.S. president.
