Salem was originally settled by the Kalapuya people, native population that lived there for many years.
Located in the center of the gorgeous Willamette Valley, it’s a city full of natural beauty, friendly people, and welcoming neighborhoods. It’s also home to a number of universities, plenty to see and do, and many job opportunities, as there are several major corporations headquartered here. Often also called the “Cherry City,” because of its thriving cherry-growing industry, Salem is the capital city of the beautiful state of Oregon and is home to more than 150,000 people.
