Portland’s name was decided with a coin toss to decide whether to name the place after Portland, Maine or Boston, Massachusetts. The then small community was initially known as "The Clearing" because of the many trees were cut for development. In 1843, Asa Lovejoy of Boston, Massachusetts purchased half of the 640-acre area for 25 cents and later Francis W. Pettygrove of Portland, Maine purchased the other half. Both Pettygrove and Lovejoy wished to rename "The Clearing" after their respective hometowns. In 1845 this controversy was settled with a coin toss which Pettygrove won in a series of two out of three tosses, thereby naming the community 'Portland'. The coin used for this decision, now known as the Portland Penny, is on display in the headquarters of the Oregon Historical Society.

Thor’s Well is a hole carved out of the basalt shoreline in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area. One theory is that it was initially a sea cave until the roof collapsed, leaving a hole on the surface level. Because of it’s location right against the Pacific Ocean, you get a constant flow of waves rolling in from underneath and filling the bowl from the bottom. Depending on the tide level, sometimes it just bubbles to the top, while other times, it’s bursting out in a violent spray.
