Situated in Marion County, Oregon, Silverton is the gateway to Silver Falls State Park, and is also home to the Oregon Garden, an 80-acre botanical park. Founded by Polly Coon Price, the town was planned around a large white oak tree, which also served as a meeting spot along the Santiam Trail for local Native Americans. The town was named after Silver Creek, and Silverton was incorporated as a city in 1885.
