Gravity Falls, Oregon

Gravity Falls, Oregon is a mysterious, sleepy town where many supernatural things occur. Grunkle Stan lives in and runs the Mystery Shack, a tourist trap which overcharges unlucky visitors for a glimpse at the world's most bizarre museum. Dipper and Mabel Pines are sent to stay with Grunkle Stan for the summer, which leads them to discover some of the strange mysterious things happening there.

Gravity Falls, Oregon may be based on the Oregon Vortex, which is a place in Oregon.

History
Gravity Falls was named by the 8½th president of the United States of America, Quentin Trembley, when he "discovered" it by falling off a cliff on his horse that he was riding backwards. However, this fact was covered up by the U.S. government, and instead "local nobody" Nathaniel Northwest was officially recorded as the town founder.
