What Was The First City To Reach A Population Of 1 Million?

Did You Know!

Oregon has a desert that’s technically one of the driest places in North America.

Most people think of Oregon as lush and rainy, but the Alvord Desert in the southeastern part of the state gets less than 7 inches of rain a year — drier than some parts of the Sahara. It’s a vast, cracked playa that was once a prehistoric lake, and on clear nights, the Milky Way is so bright you can see it without binoculars.
