Newberg Wedding

Newberg is a city in Yamhill County, Oregon, United States. A tradition holds that this town was named by its first postmaster, Sebastian Brutscher, for his former hometown of Neuberg in Germany. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 18,064, smaller than that of Mcminnville, Oregon, the most populous city in Yamhill County.

Newberg was the first community in Oregon to hold Quaker services. It was incorporated as a city in 1889. Pacific Academy, later renamed George Fox University, was founded by the Quakers in 1891. George Fox University is a Christian university of the humanities, sciences, and professional studies ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a top-tier western regional university. The campus is in the middle of Newberg, surrounded by many houses owned by the university.

Herbert Hoover moved to the city in 1885, at the age of 11, to live with his uncle after the death of his parents. The home has been turned into the Hoover-Minthorn House museum.
