Scio is a city in Linn County, Oregon, United States. The population was 695 at the 2000 census.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.3 square miles (0.8 km²), all of it land.

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 (possibly at the suggestion of his wife) used the name of his former home, Scio, Ohio.

Scio in Ohio is, in turn named for an island west of Turkey called "Chios", which was Anglicised as "Scio".

Scio post office, headed by postmaster Euphronius Wheeler, was established on 3 October 1860. [cite book |last=MacArthur |first=Lewis A. |title="Oregon Geographic Names, 6th Ed." |year=1992 |publisher=OHS Press |location=Portland, Oregon |isbn=0-87594-237-2 ]
