A state government is the government that controls a subdivision of a country in a federal form of government, which shares political power with the federal or national government. A state government may have some level of political autonomy, or be subject to the direct control of the federal government. This relationship may be defined by a constitution. The reference to "state" denotes country subdivisions that are officially or widely known as "states", and should not be confused with a "sovereign state".

The birth of the Oregon State Capitol Foundation dates back to 1991 with the Capitol Preservation Advisory Committee (CPAC).
