Silverton, Oregon
Population: 8,915
Located in Marion County
Located about 42 miles south of Portland, and 15 minutes from Salem, Oregon's capital, Silverton is just a few miles away from the mainstream, yet years apart from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The community remains an agricultural center, much as it was when the town was established back in 1854. Driving through the Silverton countryside, you can quickly see the diversity that nature has given the community. Silver Creek, whose waters race and roar to form the 10 magnificent waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park, slows to a more civilized pace as it meanders through the center of town. A visit to Silverton recalls memories of times past, with a friendly people and interesting shops and restaurants, and a chance to view life from a more simple perspective. There's a refreshing lifestyle -relaxed and unhurried - where people care about each other and take the time to greet you with a smile. So, welcome home to Silverton. Walk the streets of our community. We've even got a Walking Tour brochure to help you do it. View the lovely homes on the hillsides east and west of Main Street. Have a quiet picnic in one of our lovely city parks or at the reservoir. Enjoy one of our local festivals or celebrations. Gaze at the beautiful murals around town. Bicycle or drive by our classic buildings and homes, several of which are featured through this site. Courtesy of Silverton Online Visitor Information Center
