Woodburn

Small Oregon town

Woodburn is a city in Oregon's Willamette Valley, known for its agricultural industry and large Hispanic population.

The name also appears as a surname and occasionally as a place name elsewhere, suggesting land cleared by burning trees—a common method of creating farmland.
