00:33	the northwest corner of the United States , the top
00:36	left portion of the Continental United States in a region
00:41	called the pacific northwest . Okay , now we're going
00:49	to look at what surrounds the state of Oregon .
00:54	First , we're going to look at what borders Oregon
00:57	to the west , which is the pacific ocean .
01:00	In fact , Oregon is considered one of the pacific
01:03	States because the pacific ocean borders Oregon . Yeah .
01:09	Then bordering Oregon to the north is the state of
01:13	Washington , bordering Oregon to the east is the state
01:20	of Idaho . And then there are two states bordering
01:26	Oregon to the south , the state of Nevada to
01:29	the south east and directly below Oregon to the south
01:35	. The state of California to review Oregon is right
01:43	here on the United States map in a region of
01:45	the United States called the pacific northwest . All right
01:54	now that we know where the state of Oregon is
01:57	, we want to look at what the main nickname
02:00	of Oregon is , because it's gonna tell us some
02:02	interesting things about the state . The main nickname of
02:09	Oregon is the beaver state . Yeah , the beaver
02:13	state is another name that the state of Oregon goes
02:16	by . Wait , why is Oregon called the beaver
02:21	State ? Beavers are cool , but why would Oregon
02:24	be called the beaver State ? Why is the beaver
02:26	state another name for the state of Oregon ? Well
02:34	, there are many beavers that live in Oregon ,
02:36	especially near streams . Beavers love to work and live
02:41	near streams and hats made out of beaver fur became
02:47	really popular in the 18 hundreds , so there were
02:52	a lot of beavers living in Oregon and beaver hats
02:56	became really popular . So there are a lot of
02:59	those animals there and it became big business in Oregon
03:03	. Another reason why Oregon is the beaver state is
03:08	because they love some of the qualities of beavers ,
03:11	like how intelligent they are , how hard working they
03:15	are and how creative they are with finding solutions to
03:19	different problems as they work in and around the stream
03:23	. Beavers are also the state animal of Oregon and
03:29	they're also a reminder , as you can see in
03:31	this picture to always brush your teeth seriously . There
03:36	are no beaver dentists and it's important to brush your
03:39	teeth and go to the dentist . Okay , great
03:45	! So Oregon's nickname is the beaver state . They
03:48	have tons of beavers in Oregon . Beaver hats were
03:51	very popular in the 18 hundreds and beavers have some
03:56	cool qualities , like they're really smart , really hard
03:58	working and really creative , cool . Now let's look
04:04	at the flag of the state of Oregon . It
04:09	is a navy blue flag with the symbols and lettering
04:13	in gold , which is the state color of Oregon
04:17	. It almost looks like a yellowish gold , but
04:20	it is gold . It features part of the state
04:25	seal , which includes a wagon from western expansion into
04:29	Oregon and eagle on top and 33 gold stars representing
04:35	Oregon's admission to the United States as the 33rd ST
04:43	Below that is the year 1859 . The year Oregon
04:47	became one of the United States . Now , are
04:52	you ready for a surprise . The Oregon State flag
04:55	is the only state flag that is double sided with
04:58	a different design on the back . The back of
05:05	the Oregon flag features a golden beaver . Yeah ,
05:08	the beaver stay . It's just a beaver on the
05:11	back . So the flag of the state of Oregon
05:14	looks like this on the front and looks like this
05:18	on the back . Yeah . All right now we
