Macleay, Oregon
Macleay is an unincorporated community in Marion County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is about nine miles east of downtown Salem in the Waldo Hills near the Little Pudding River.
This locale was originally named "Stipp" for local settler John L. Stipp, whose
Oregonian Railway Company, which was built through the area.[2][3] Macleay gave money to build a schoolhouse in the Stipp area, near the new railroad station, so the post office was renamed in his honor.[2] Macleay was platted in 1884.[4] Macleay post office ran until 1939.[2]
Ownership of the railroad line passed on to
Grange hall, a fire station,[6] and the former school currently serves as a church.[citation needed
