'For I doubt if I shall ever see, a city built around a tree' -- While that's not quite the line from the poem "Trees and Other Poems" by Joyce Kilmer, the paraphrase does reflect an interesting bit of Silverton history. Seems the town was laid out around an old oak tree that had been a gathering place for Native Americans prior to pioneer settlement.
Named after the Silver River, the town grew up to play an important role in Willamette Valley settlement. Banking and finance helped drive the local economy, along with trade, agriculture, and transportation. It's the gateway town to Oregon's largest state park, Silver Falls. It's also where you will find the Oregon Garden, a lush 80 acre display of botanical delights with a strong emphasis on plants native to the Pacific Northwest. The city of around 10,000 is a historic burg with a nice, clean downtown that is home to a fine collection of shops and businesses. Interestingly enough, movie-goers might remember the downtown area from the movie_ "_Bandits" -- the Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton characters rob their first bank in Silverton.
