Keizer has served as an agricultural settlement in Oregon’s Willamette Valley since the mid-19th century. The city occupies the east bank of the Willamette River, immediately north of Salem, where fertile valley soils shaped its early farming economy. Its name recalls pioneer Thomas Dove Keizur, whose family settled in the area in 1843; Keizer later incorporated as a city in 1982. Keizer Rapids Park provides public access to the riverbank, while the annual Keizer Iris Festival reflects a local tradition of flower growing.
