The Town of Carlton.
Nestled between the rolling hills of Western Oregon, half way between Portland and the coast, you'll find Carlton; a great Little Town.
Carlton, 1st known as Carl's Town, a train stop, is a sleepy farming hamlet of about 2,000 souls.
"Carlton is a real town. Being isolated, it's its own self. It has small schools where kids of all walks of life are friends." Says winemaker Ken Wright.

As the story goes...
In 1872, a railroad was built from Portland to St. Joe, but the train did not stop between the two stations.
There was nothing but farm land where Carlton is now.
Some of the farmers talked it over, and as a result, Mr. Wilson Carl, went to Portland and talked to the Railroad Company officials, to see if they would make a stop closer to them, so they would not have to take their produce so far to the railroad. As a result, first a flag stop was tried, then a regular stop was made at what is now Carlton (Ken Wright Winery is the old train station). The story is that when the railroad employees talked of this un named stop, they started calling it Carl's town, which was soon shortened to Carlton. The City was incorporated in 1899. More about this railroad in your reader.
Eating places include:
Carlton Bakery - (known for its take-out sandwiches, quiche, soups & raisin-walnut loaf)
Cuvee (French cuisine)
Farmers Plate & Pantry (Locally focused American Comfort Food)
Horse Radish Cheese & Wine Bar (Sandwiches, Soups & Salads & more)
