==History==
[[File:Hoover Minthorn house sign.JPG|thumb|left|[[Hoover-Minthorn House]]]]
[[Ewing Young]], after leading pioneering [[fur brigade]]s in California, came to Portland in 1834 and settled on the west bank of the [[Willamette River]] near the mouth of [[Chehalem Creek]], opposite of [[Champoeg, Oregon|Champoeg]].<ref name="Champoeg">{{cite book | last = Hussey  | first = John A.  | title = Champoeg: Place of Transition, A Disputed History  | publisher = Oregon Historical Society  | year = 1967  }}</ref> Young's home is believed to be the first house built by European-Americans on that side of the river.<ref name="Champoeg"/> Later, Joseph Rogers settled near the Willamette River at what is now Newberg in 1848.<ref name="back in time">{{cite news|url=http://web.newsregister.com/news/results.cfm?story_no=245654|title=Back in time: Yamhill Valley – 1859|last=Klooster|first=Karl|date=February 14, 2009|work=News-Register|access-date=2 February 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714175022/http://web.newsregister.com/news/results.cfm?story_no=245654|archive-date=14 July 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Oregon Place Names, 6th edition |author=Lewis A.

One of the current streets, Brutscher Street, is named after Brutscher.

Newberg was one of the first communities in Oregon to hold [[Religious Society of Friends|Quaker]] services. It was incorporated as a city in 1889. The city's oldest surviving newspaper, ''The Newberg Graphic'', was established Dec. 1, 1888. Friends Pacific Academy, renamed Pacific College in 1891 and then [[George Fox University]] in 1949, was founded by the Quakers in 1885. George Fox University is classified by [[U.S. News & World Report]] as a first-tier regional university and "Best Value" school.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.georgefox.edu/about/quick_facts/index.html|title='About George Fox University: Quick Facts'|work=georgefox.edu|access-date=2012-08-14}}</ref>  The campus resides in the center of the city, surrounded by university-owned housing.

[[Herbert Hoover]] moved to the city in 1885,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Newberg History {{!}} Newberg Oregon|url=https://www.newbergoregon.gov/community/page/history-0|access-date=2021-03-08|website=www.newbergoregon.gov}}</ref><ref>Walch, Timothy.

The town was [[Dry county|"dry"]], meaning no alcohol could be sold within the city limits, for a good part of its early history.

A 1924 civil suit between members of two Newberg [[Ku Klux Klan]] chapters was significant in the downfall of the [[Ku Klux Klan in Oregon|Oregon Klan's]] reputation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Jensen |first=Kimberly |date=Spring 2024 |title=Gendering White Supremacy |url=https://www.ohs.org/oregon-historical-quarterly/upload/Jensen-KKK_OHQ-125_1_spring-2024_web.pdf |journal=Oregon Historical Society |volume=1 |issue=125 |pages=1–2 |via=Oregon Historical Society}}</ref>

==Geography==
Newberg is located on [[Oregon Route 99W]], approximately {{convert|25|mi|km}} southwest of [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]]. [[Springbrook, Oregon|Springbrook]], once a separate community, is now considered part of Newberg.

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|5.81|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all  land.<ref name="Gazetteer files">{{cite web|title=US Gazetteer files 2010|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=2012-12-21|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125061959/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt|archive-date=2012-01-25}}</ref> It averages {{convert|176|ft|m}} in elevation.

===Climate===

Newberg, like Portland, has a warm-summer [[Mediterranean climate]] (Köppen ''Csb'') with cool and cloudy winters, and warm and dry summers.{{sfn|Anderson|2014|p=138}}{{full citation needed|date=March 2024}} This climate is characterized by having overcast, wet, and changing weather conditions in fall, winter, and spring, as Newberg lies in the direct path of the stormy westerly flow, and mild and dry summers when the Pacific High reaches its northernmost point in mid summer.<ref name="fao.org">{{cite web|url=http://www.fao.org/docrep/006/ad652e/ad652e07.htm |title=Global Ecological Zoning for the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 |year=2001|publisher=Forestry Department of the [[Food and Agriculture Organization]]|access-date=September 12, 2012}}</ref> According to the [[Köppen climate classification]], Newberg falls within the dry-summer temperate zone (''Csb'').<ref name="fao.org" /><ref>{{Cite journal| last = Kottek | first = M. |author2=J.

Winters are cool, cloudy, and rainy. The coldest months are December and January, with an average daily high of {{convert|46.0|°F|1}}, although overnight lows usually remain above freezing by a few degrees. Evening temperatures fall to or below freezing 33 nights per year on average, but very rarely to or below {{convert|18|°F|0}}. There are only 2.1 days per year where the daytime high temperature fails to rise above freezing. The lowest overnight temperature ever recorded was {{convert|−3|°F|0}}.

Annual snowfall in Newberg falls during the December-March time frame. Newport, for example, has more frequent snow than Portland, due in part to higher elevations near the [[Tualatin Mountains|West Hills]] and [[Mount Tabor (Oregon)|Mount Tabor]], so it can experience a dusting of snow while downtown Portland receives no accumulation at all.

Summers in Newberg are warm, occasionally hot, dry, and sunny, though the sunny warm weather is short-lived, from mid-June through early September. The months of June, July, August and September account for a combined {{convert|4.78|in|mm|0}} of total rainfall{{spaced ndash}} of the {{convert|39.95|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} of the precipitation that falls throughout the year. The warmest month is July, with an average high temperature of {{convert|80.0|°F|1}}. Because of its inland location {{convert|70|mi}} from the coast, as well as the protective nature of the [[Oregon Coast Range]] to its west, Newberg summers are less susceptible to the moderating influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean. Consequently, Portland experiences [[heat wave]]s on rare occasion, with temperatures rising into the {{convert|90|°F|0}} for a few days. However, on average, temperatures reach or exceed {{convert|80|°F|0}} on only 56 days per year, of which about 12 days will reach {{convert|90|°F|0}} and only 1–2 days will reach {{convert|100|°F|0}}.

Spring and fall can bring variable weather, including warm fronts that send temperatures surging above {{convert|80|°F|0}} and cold snaps that plunge daytime temperatures into the 40s °F (4–9&nbsp;°C). However, lengthy stretches of overcast days beginning in mid-fall and continuing into mid-spring are most common. Rain often falls as a light drizzle for several consecutive days at a time, contributing to 152 days on average with measurable (≥{{convert|0.01|in|abbr=on|disp=or}}) precipitation annually.
