Days Creek, Oregon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Days Creek is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, Oregon, United States. It is located on Oregon Route 227, at the confluence of Days Creek and the South Umpqua River.
The community was named after the local creek, which in turn was named for the Patrick and George Day, who settled near its mouth in 1951. The post office was established in 1878 as "Day's Creek", but the name was changed to "Days Creek" circa 1890.[1]
Days Creek is home to the Seventh-day Adventist secondary school, Milo Adventist Academy [1], and the women's intentional community OWL Farm. [2]
