Corvallis Oregon Information & Highlights

Corvallis is considered to be the basecamp of the whole Benton County territory. Mainly because of the courthouse, Oregon State University and Hewlett Packard.

Joseph C Avery was the first person to lay claim to the land at the mouth of Marys River, which flows right into the Willamette River, in 1845. In 1849, Avery went ahead and platted the land and set up survey for his land claim. Shortly after he went ahead and named the community Marysville.

Most people think that it was named after an early settler named Mary Lloyd.

As you know, today this town is not called Marysville... In 1853, the legislative assembly changed the name to what it is today, Corvallis. From the latin phrase cor vallis, meaning heart of valley.

Most did not know that the City of Corvallis served as the capital of the Oregon Territories. This happened in 1855, right before Salem stepped in and took over the spot.
