About Tangent

Located just south of Albany in the heart of the Willamette Valley, Tangent is a quiet, tight-knit town with around 1,200 residents. The community gets its unique name from a historic railway line that cut straight through the valley for over twenty miles without a single bend. Today, life here revolves around wide-open grass seed fields, peaceful rural roads, and a slow-paced country lifestyle, all with quick access to everyday amenities in nearby Corvallis and Albany.
