Originally a stage stop on the Santiam Wagon Road, then a summer resort also known as Cascadia Mineral Springs,[5] Cascadia had a post office established in 1898. It maintains a ZIP code of 97329. The resort had a hotel established by George Geisendorfer, who was also the first postmaster. People were attracted to Cascadia because of its mineral spring water.[6] The property was sold to the state in 1940 and now is the site of the 300-acre (1.2 km2) Cascadia State Park.
