History
Early SettlementsSettlers first arrived in the Sweet Home Valley in 1851. The Indians occupied this part of Eastern Linn County until 1921 when Indian Lize, the last remaining member of the Kalapuyan tribe, died.
Sweet Home was built on a vast, prehistoric petrified forest. Indeed, the area is still well known for its treasures, as rockhounds seek a variety of agate, jasper, crystals, and minerals.
1960s
A second shot in the arm was given to the community in 1962 when construction work began on nearby Green Peter Dam and continued as construction began on the Foster Dam in 1966. Instead of Sweet Home being hidden away by itself, as it was for 80 years, it now became the gateway to recreation and industrial activities in Eastern Linn County.
1980s
During the 1980s, Sweet Home experienced a major decline in population and industry as environmental issues forced the closure of sawmills and logging operations. During these tough times, the community banded together and rode out the changes, eventually turning the tide of recession into a wave of progression.
1990s
Throughout the 1990s, using grant dollars provided by the Federal government, Sweet Homes downtown corridor was revitalized, small businesses were encouraged to come to Sweet Home, and assisted living facilities were built to accommodate a retiring community.
Naming Conventions!
This historic town began with two other names: the upper part of town was nicknamed Mossville; the lower part was called Buck Head. According to historians, Sweet Home was later named after the lovely green Sweet Home Valley.
Fun and More
Sweet Home is built on the site of a prehistoric forest, which makes it a favorite destination for rockhounds. In the surrounding streams, forests and hills, people have found arrowheads, fish-eyed agates, seventy different kinds of petrified wood, fossilized leaves and crystal geodes.
