Lebanon, OR

Lebanon is a Linn County city beside the South Santiam River, east of Albany in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Its history is tied to stock routes, timber, and the Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain Road, which connected valley communities with mountain grazing and travel. Today Lebanon has river access, foot-and-bike trails, medical services, and a practical small-city role for the surrounding area. It feels working-class and outdoors-adjacent, with the Cascades close enough to shape its outlook.
