Keizer is a city in Marion County, Oregon, named for Thomas Dove and John Brooks Keizer, two pioneers who arrived in the Wagon Train of 1843, and later filed donation land claims. The original settlement was at Keizer Bottom, near the banks of the Williamette River. The settlement suffered in the Flood of 1861, and the settlers are rebuilt their homes on higher ground. Keizer was unincorporated until 1982 when, to avoid annexation by Salem, residents voted to make Keizer a city.
