Aumsville, Oregon - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

The town of Aumsville was established in the 1860s, centered around the Turner family farm and flour mill. When Henry Turner's son-in-law Amos (known as "Aumus") Davis died in 1863, Mr. Turner named the community "Aumsville." Today the town has a population of about 3,600. Each summer the town hosts an annual Corn Festival.

In December 2010, an EF2 Tornado touched down in Aumsville, destroying several homes and causing severe damage to several businesses and the City Hall. This was an unusual event as tornados are rare in the region with only a total of 114 known since 1887 with the Aumsville tornado being one of just four to reach EF2 status (An EF2 tornado has wind speeds of between 111 and 135 miles per hour).
