Home to the Boring Lava Field, Boring, Oregon, was named after uh … sorry, had to fight off a yawn there. Anyway, Boring, Oregon, is a sleepy community that was named after the area’s first settler, William Harrison Boring, back in 1856.
The community is one-third of the illustrious League of Extraordinary Communities, an international brotherhood that includes Dull, Perthshire, Scotland, and Bland, New South Wales, Australia. If you want to learn more, check out this Boring video. Rather, this video about Boring, Oregon.
