Silverton, OR
Silverton is a city in Marion County, Oregon, United States. The city is situated along the 45th parallel about 12 miles 19 km northeast of Salem, in the eastern margins of the broad alluvial plain of the Willamette Valley. The city is named after Silver Creek, which flows through the town from Silver Falls into the Pudding River, and thence into the Willamette River. The community of Milford was founded in 1846 with a sawmill, store and several other buildings two miles upstream from the present location of Silverton. Source: Wikipedia
