MAYOR'S WELCOME

Bordered by the beautiful Willamette River, the City of Harrisburg, Oregon, is the home of 3,600 friendly citizens.

We are proud that our city was named an ALL-AMERICA CITY FINALIST in 2006 and won the 2002 AWARD OF EXCELLENCE from the League of Oregon Cities. This award is given to a city that has taken an innovative approach to city operations and providing services.

Harrisburg is the perfect compromise between rural and urban America. Located near the I-5 corridor, it is approximately 25 miles from the larger cities of Eugene, Albany and Corvallis. An hour and a half to the north is the Portland metropolitan area, to the west is the amazing Oregon coast, and to the east is the recreational paradise known as the Cascade Mountains.

Proud of our agricultural heritage and our small town roots, Harrisburg believes that if we keep our eyes open to the possibilities of the future, we can hold onto the best from the past.

3,600 welcomes to you.

Mayor Robert Duncan
