Orleans, Oregon
Orleans was a city in Linn County, Oregon, United States. It was established around 1850[1] and destroyed in the Great Flood of 1862. It was not rebuilt.[2] The city was located across the Willamette River across from Corvallis. The Orleans cemetery survived because it was built on high ground[1] at 44°34′11″N 123°11′29″W / 44.5697°N 123.1913°W.[3]
