}}Peoria is an unincorporated community in Linn County, in the U.S. state of Oregon.[2] It is on the right bank of the Willamette River at river mile 141 between Eugene and Corvallis. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Peoria as a census-designated place (CDP). The census definition of the area may not precisely correspond to local understanding of the area with the same name. Lacking stores and services, it is a cluster of houses plus a county park along Peoria Road, about {{convert|10|mi|km}} south of Oregon Route 34.[3] As of the 2010 Census, the population was 94.[1]

History

Peoria, named for Peoria, Illinois, was first settled in 1851 by H. A. McCartney. By 1875, the community was prosperous enough to have four grain warehouses and a school with 60 pupils. However, after the Oregon and California Railroad established a line through Shedd and Halsey further east, business in Peoria declined.[4]

A post office in this vicinity opened in 1855 under the name Burlington. The name was changed to Peoria in 1857, and the office closed in 1900.[4] Through the early decades of the 20th century, a river ferry operated out of Peoria.[3]
