About Dallas

Dallas is a Polk County city west of Salem, set along Rickreall Creek in the Willamette Valley. Pioneers began settling the area in the 1840s, and the city still works as a county-seat-style hub for surrounding farm and timber country. Chemeketa Community College has a Polk Center campus in Dallas, adding an education presence. The city feels quieter and more rural than nearby Salem, with small-town services, older neighborhoods, and easy access to the central Willamette Valley.
