| Significant City History |
|
In 1845 Joseph C. Avery secured a land claim at the mouth of
Marys River, where he opened a store and surveyed a town site
on his land claim, naming the community Marysville. In 1853 the
legislative assembly changed the city's name to Corvallis,
Corvalis served briefly as the capital of the Oregon Territory in
1855 before Salem was eventually selected as the permanent
seat of state government.
