Scio ( ) is a city in Linn County, Oregon, United States. The population was 838 at the 2010 census. ==History== ''Oregon Geographic Names'' suggests that Scio was named by one of the original residents, William McKinney, who, with Henry L. Turner, set up a flour mill at the new town. Turner suggested McKinney come up with a name for the place, and McKinney used the name of his former home, Scio, Ohio. Scio in Ohio is, in turn named for a Greek island called ''Chios''; the Italian version of the name is Scio.〔(Scio, Asia Minor )〕 Scio post office, headed by postmaster Euphronius Wheeler, was established on October 3, 1860. Thomas Creek, which flows through the city, was named for Frederick Thomas, who obtained a Donation Land Claim and settled on the banks of the creek in 1846. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scio, Oregon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
