  • Yamhill County Road Names
    Yamhill County Road Names By Dan Linscheid Dedication This booklet is dedicated to the memory of Ruth Stoller, first historian of the Yamhill County Historical Society. (October 26, 1915 – May 23, 1994) PREFACE In December 1983, the Yamhill County Rural Addressing Project Study Committee issued a proposal for a new addressing system for all rural residents. The then Yamhill County Commissioner, Dave Bishop, coordinated this effort. Many county roads, referred to only by number, required research and citizen input so that appropriate names could be assigned. This was ten years ago; so I thought people might be interested in the origins of the names in our county road system. In 1984, I was chosen to coordinate the road naming process working closely with the Yamhill County Historical Society in seeking roots and interesting tidbits about pioneers after which many of our roads are named. While the initially proposed names of many roads were derived from names of area pioneers, in many cases, appeals by affected property owners resulted in changes. The author has tried to give the reader some idea of the location of the road before describing its origins. Also included are anecdotal information or other historical data received during the naming process. When the County Courthouse in Lafayette burned down in January of 1857, all road records were lost. Some Road Supervisors were afraid to improve or maintain their roads for fear the roads had lost their legal status due to the fire. This explains the hundreds of road creation proceedings recorded within the first several years of Commissioner's Journals beginning in February of 1857.

Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than our own. They represent our official position only after they have been signed by the Regional Director or Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.

    Yamhill County is a rural county located in the northwest part of the Willamette Valley and is bounded by the Willamette River on the east and the coast range on the west. Yamhill County population has more than doubled over the past 54 year period. The population of the County is estimated at 72,800 (1994 estimate) with 70% of the population living in incorporated areas. Its 718 square miles include 10 incorporated cities, with McMinnville and Newberg both over 10,000 in population. The road system consists of a combination of quiet rural routes, city streets, and busy state highways. The existing State Highway System connects with the State Capitol in Salem, the Portland Metropolitan Area, and the Oregon Coast. Yamhill County is served by state highways 99W and 18 corridors to Portland and Lincoln City, Highway 47 to the north, Highway 219 to Salem and Hillsboro, and Highway 99W and 221 to the south. These highways also bring thousands of tourists each year through Yamhill County on their way to the Oregon Coast. Yamhill County attractions include two colleges; a destination resort; a proposed aeronautic museum; numerous state, city, and county parks; two monasteries; National Register Historic Landmarks; Wheatland Ferry crossing the Willamette River; numerous vineyards and wineries; and large natural recreation areas under the National Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Yamhill County is also the location of a Federal Correction Facility. Located in the Mid-Willamette Valley, Yamhill County abounds with produce and agricultural products. Yamhill County Transportation System Plan (TSP) examines both short and long-term transportation needs.
