Lyons is a small town nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. In 1880, Captain James C. Lyons and Henry Lyons, two Irish brothers, founded Lyons in the scenic North Santiam Canyon, 23 miles east of Salem. Other settlers soon followed from Scotland, Kansas and the Plains.
In the early years the timber industry and
the railroad played an important role in Lyon's economy. The timber
industry is still strong and in recent years the North Santiam River, which
rushes along the northern side of town, has become well known for its fishing
and white water recreational activities.
Lyons incorporated in 1958 with a population
of 400; it has now grown to 1,090. John Neal Memorial Park, on the banks
of the North Santiam, was dedicated in 1963. The Lyons Memorial Park, next
to City Hall, was dedicated in 1972. A children's playground, by generous
donations, was added to the park in 1996. Freres City Park is located
on 13th Street by the Beaver Ponds.
Mari-Linn Grade School, the Library, the Santiam Valley Grange, various churches, clubs and retail businesses are all vital parts of our community.
