Eugene is also the second-most populous city in Oregon, after Portland, and is known for its recreational opportunities, natural environment and arts community. The Nike Corporation was established in Eugene, which helped influence its nickname: Track Town, USA. It also houses the University of Oregon. Eugene's climate is wet throughout much of the year, which helps keep the city very green.
