History

Founded in 1854, Silverton is an historic town with stately homes shaded by grand, old oak trees nestled in the heart of the Willamette Valley. Our community is surrounded by fields of crops including hazelnuts, marionberries, strawberries, grass seed and irises. Once a logging town, Silverton is now known for its gardens, restaurants, antique boutiques, art galleries and shops. With its scenic beauty, rich history, charming downtown and gems of nature, it is no wonder Silverton is Oregon’s Garden City – the perfect place to grow your dreams!
