**Gravity Falls, Oregon** is a mysterious, sleepy, small town in Roadkill County of eastern Oregon, where there are many supernatural occurrences. It was founded by Quentin Trembley, but in an attempt to cover it up was said to be founded by Nathaniel Northwest. It's where Stan Pines lives and runs the Mystery Shack, a tourist trap which overcharges unlucky visitors for a glimpse at the world's most bizarre museum. 13 year-old twin siblings Dipper and Mabel Pines are sent to stay with Stan for the summer, which leads them to discover the different yet curious wonders of Gravity Falls.

Gravity Falls, Oregon may be based off of the Oregon Vortex, which is located in Oregon, and residents claim paranormal activity occurs there. It is also based off Boring, Oregon, a town Alex never saw himself, but always imagined what it might be like.

## History

Gravity Falls was founded in 1842 by the 8½th president of the United States of America, Sir Lord Quentin Trembley III, Esq. He "discovered" it by falling off a cliff on a horse that he was riding backwards. However, this fact was covered up by the U.S. government, and instead "local nobody" and "waste-shoveling village idiot" Nathaniel Northwest was officially recorded as the town founder.

The valley of Gravity Falls was actually formed by an alien spaceship crash-landing on Earth millions of years prior to the start of the series, as stated by Stanford Pines in the episode Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future.

## Trivia

* The town is based off of Boring, Oregon.
* A UFO is buried underneath the town, and the cause of the valley's creation.
* It's unknown how large the town really is—it's said to be a relatively small town, but is apparently big enough to have its own shopping mall and civic center.
* The town's streets are dangerous and littered with weapons
* In the episode "Scary-oke," the agents pinpoint the source of the disturbance they monitored as being in Gravity Falls. The indicator on the monitor for the town shows it is located approximately along Highway 20 in Malheur County, Oregon, somewhere west of Vale.
* The indicator shown at the beginning of "Scary-oke" that pinpoints Gravity Falls' location is different than the location shown on the map of Oregon that was previously released. In the original map it shows that Gravity Falls is in the center of Oregon, however, the government agents pinpoint a location on the eastern edge of Oregon.
* If you search "Gravity Falls, Oregon" on Google Maps, it will direct you to the Oregon Vortex.
* According to Probabilitor the Annoying in "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons", Gravity Falls exists in Dimension "46 Apostrophe Backslash" (46'\).

Or maybe the opposite of Boring, Oregon, would be Gravity Falls.”
