Stayton

Stayton Oregon

I spotted this written on the side of a flatbed truck the other day. For those who don't know -- and, really, why would the rest of the world know this -- the town of Stayton was named after a man named Drury Smith Stayton back in the 1800's. He helped his children build homes, and the town was formed around their plots. For this and other Stayton-related facts, check out the visitor's info page at the Stayton-Sublimity Chamber of Commerce web site.
