Detroit Map

Detroit is a city in Marion County, Oregon, United States. It was named for Detroit, Michigan in the 1890s because of the large number of people from Michigan in the community. The population was 262 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The original townsite of Detroit was inundated in the summer of 1952 when the Corps of Engineers finished Detroit Dam on the Santiam River. The community was relocated about a half mile northwest of the original site, on State Highway 22, and was incorporated as a city the same year.

Located near Detroit Lake and Detroit Lake State Park, Detroit's economy is dependent on tourism. The community suffered from a drought in 2001, when Detroit Lake was little more than the Santiam River through the summer.

Nearby cities include Gates, Mill City, Idanha.
