Few communities in Oregon have a history as closely tied to the agricultural settlement of the Willamette Valley as Sunnyside. Set in Marion County south of Salem, it occupies the broad valley floor between Oregon’s Coast Range and the Cascade Range. This is part of a rural belt where cultivated land, country roads and scattered homes mark the transition from the state capital’s urban area to the surrounding countryside. Farming has long shaped the economy and identity of the Willamette Valley, giving Sunnyside a distinctly local setting within western Oregon.
