Buena Vista, Oregon

Buena Vista /ˈbjuːnə ˈvɪstə/ is an unincorporated community in Polk County, Oregon, United States.

[1] It is located on the Willamette River, and is the western landing for the Buena Vista Ferry.

One of the earliest settlements in Oregon, it once had a much greater population because of the pottery industry, as well as being an important hops-growing area.

The town later went into decline, especially because the railroad bypassed Buena Vista and instead was routed through Independence.

[2] At the top of a steep hill to the north of town the Buena Vista cemetery includes graves dating back to the 1800s.
