Located north of Salem in the Willamette Valley, Keizer was named for a pair of brothers who came west on the wagon train of 1843. The original settlement was at Keizer Bottom, near the banks of the Willamette River. Keizer Bottom is now the site of Keizer Rapids Park, a public park whose attractions include a dog park, playground, boat-in camping, nature trails, a disc golf course, and sport courts.
