Local History
The city was originally called Marysville,
possibly after early settler Mary Lloyd, but now thought to be derived
from French fur trappers' naming of a local peak after the Virgin
Mary. In the year 1853, the legislative assembly changed the city's
name to Corvallis, from the Latin phrase cor vallis, meaning "heart
of the valley." Corvallis
was incorporated as a city in 1857.
