Wikipedia
The Native Americans who originally inhabited Salem, the Kalapuyans called the area Chemeketa, which means " meeting or resting place " in the Central Kalapuya language ( Santiam ).
When the Methodist Mission moved to the Chemeketa plain, the new establishment was called Chemeketa, but was more widely known as the Mill because of its situation on Mill Creek.
