Halsey Oregon

Halsey is one of the communities that make up the mid-Willamette Valley.

Halsey was founded in 1871, although early settlers had been living in the area for several decades. Halsey was a shipping point for the many tons of wheat produced by the surrounding farms, as the new railroad from Portland passed through town.

Today the area around Halsey is a world leader in the production of grass seed. There are also quite a few commercial plant nurseries in the area, some of which are open to the public. For recreation there are some great roads nearby for biking, as well as fishing and boating on the Willamette River. There are also a number of wineries and golf courses not far from town.

Halsey is situated just 25 miles away from Eugene and Springfield Oregon, and about 20 miles from Albany and Corvallis.
