Scio, Oregon | 4k Driving Tour

Oregon Geographic Names suggests that Scio was named by one of the original residents, William McKinney, who, with Henry L. Turner, set up a flour mill at the new town. Turner suggested McKinney come up with a name for the place, and McKinney used the name of his former home, Scio, Ohio.

Scio in Ohio is, in turn named for a Greek island called Chios; the Italian version of the name is Scio.
Scio post office, headed by postmaster Euphronius Wheeler, was established on October 3, 1860.

Thomas Creek, which flows through the city, was named for Frederick Thomas, who obtained a Donation Land Claim and settled on the banks of the creek in 1846.

Thanks for the ride along. 👍
I guess there's not too many police around, because you're doing a lot of California stops at all the stop signs. LOL 😂

So I'm from Ca and my family was traveling to Seattle. Driving up Interstate 5 I saw the sign for "Scio". I begged my dad to turn off so I could see the town. An actor I like grew up in Scio and I wanted to see the town he grew up in. It never happened. My dad just kept driving. 😑

Imagine growing up in Scio. Knowing every one of your classmates, since you were a child. . You all grew up to be successful, still stay in touch. You stayed and now your property is worth millions. And one dude screwed it’s up. Bad.

I was a volunteer fireman in Scio for a few years. Don't think you could have picked a more boring town!
