Synopsis

Few people realize that West Salem was an independent town for over 30 years. From its early development in the mid-19th century--when valley homesteaders grew wheat, hops, and fruits--to the founding of Fairview School in 1868, the opening of the Center Street Bridge across the Willamette River in 1886, the rail line in 1909, and a city charter in 1913 to the surrender of that charter to Salem in 1949, the West Salem area forged its own unique identity. Today, West Salem is a thriving community full of cherished memories alongside physical reminders of its independence, such as the Art Deco-style city hall and jailhouse.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Author Lynn (Sellers) Mack enjoyed hearing her father describe his childhood memories of West Salem. Documenting the area's history became her mission, as well as a promise to her father before his death. Mack has collected the best images from the Polk County Historical Society and Museum and private residents. Working with coauthors Debra (Crockett) Meaghers, a 30-year resident of West Salem, and Kimberli Fitzgerald, a historic planner, they have developed a visual history and narrative of this broad West Salem community.
