Subdivisions of a U.S. state / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are 36 counties in the U.S. State of Oregon. The Oregon Constitution does not explicitly provide for county seats; Article VI, covering the "Administrative Department" of the state of Oregon, simply states that:
- All county and city officers shall keep their respective offices at such places therein, and perform such duties, as may be prescribed by law.[2]
