Origin of City's Name
In the early 1970s, a development company built a subdivision in the foothills southeast of Salem. Because the homes were built among the oak trees on rolling hills, the development company called the subdivision Woodland Hills. Years later, when the subdivision residents decided to incorporate, they kept the development's name as the town's name.
Date of Incorporation: December 14, 1979
