Keizer, Oregon
Keizer,
a growing community along the Willamette River and adjacent
to the capital city of Salem, was founded by pioneers who immigrated
to the Oregon Territory in the mid-1850s. Keizer was incorporated
as a city in 1982, and has been one of the fastest growing cities
in the state in the past decade. The city increasingly attracts
newcomers because of its pleasant suburban neighborhoods, good
schools, strong youth organizations and relatively low tax rates.
It is home to a Class A baseball team, the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes.
