Dallas, OR Real Estate

The city of Dallas is the county seat of Polk County, Oregon, United States. Originally named either Cynthia Ann or Cynthian (evidence supports either form), Dallas was later named after George M. Dallas, Vice President of the United States ( 1845 - 1849 ) under James Knox Polk. The population was 12,459 at the 2000 census.

Dallas is located on the Rickreall Creek, approximately 15 miles west of Salem, at an altitude of 325 feet above sea level.

Dallas was first settled in 1845, on the north side of Rickreall Creek, but was moved just over a mile south due to an inadequate supply of water in 1856. It was incorporated as a town in 1874, and was successful in keeping nearby Independence from becoming the county seat in the 1880s and 1890s. It was ranked as a city in 1901.

Dallas was also the home of the pioneering Gerlinger family. George Gerlinger was influential in the railroad and lumber products business. He organized a group of investors in 1902 to build railroad lines in the area. In 1906, they purchased a lumber mill and several stands of timber. The business's name was changed to Willamette Valley Lumber Company and, in 1967, became Willamette Industries. Willamette Industries was one of the largest lumber companies in the world before a hostile takeover by Weyerhaeuser.
