For over 100 years, the City of Molalla has prided itself on its rural roots, necessarily reinventing itself a few times in the process.  It has gone from the world’s biggest source of teasel to a successful logging town, and along the way farms and ranches have succeeded in this small city in the fertile Willamette Valley.  The industries still exist – farms and ranches and the more modern nurseries and microfarms.  Molalla is a home to industry and a gateway to some stunning outdoors – just up the Molalla river in our own back yard. We have great restaurants, amazing history, and we’re surrounded by activities – whether it’s fishing, hunting, hiking, or rodeo.  Take a look around, and let us be the first to say, “Welcome to Molalla.” 

1913 turned out to be quite a year for Molalla.  Molalla became The City of Molalla, the first steam engine came to town, and it was the first year of the Molalla Buckeroo.
