State of Oregon - McMinnville, Yamhill County

McMinnville, Yamhill County, PO 5 miles south west of Lafayette, is a town of 500 inhabitants, on the south fork of the Yamhill River, which in seasons of high water is navigable to this place. This is in the heart of a rich agricultural section, included within the forks of the Yamhill, and the surrounding country presents one of the most lovely landscapes the eye ever rested upon. Among the manufacturing establishments are two flouring mills, whose products have obtained a high reputation. There are four churches, a public school, Masonic, Odd Fellows and Grangers halls, and the McMinnville College and Academy, an institution of learning of high repute. One newspaper, the Yamhill County Reporter, is published weekly.
