St. Paul was founded in 1901 and named by the Archbishop Francis Norbert Blanchet for the apostle Paul. The area in which the town is located was settled in the 1830s by French Canadians and the area became known as French Prairie. The center of St Paul has been designated a national historic district. The area called Champoeg, four miles north of St. Paul, was settled first by Hudson Bay Company trappers. Even before St. Paul had much activity, Champoeg was the site of the formation of the Oregon provisional government (1843).
The farm community of St. Paul, known mostly for its Fourth of July rodeo and rich agricultural history. It's conveniently located about 30 miles southwest of Portland on Oregon Highway 219 on the northwest side of Marion County. The city sits in the Willamette Valley and remains buffered from the growth of Portland and Salem by some of the richest farmland in the world. The town sits on the French Prairie, which is bordered to the west by the Willamette River.
To St. Paul's east - less than an hour away - are the Cascade Mountains with skiing and hiking. At an hour's driving time to the west lies the Pacific Coast with many beautiful beaches. Many rivers and forests are within easy driving distance offering boating, fishing, and hunting opportunities. Several golf courses are located in the county. Portland and all its cultural attractions is in close proximity. Salem, Oregon's state capital, is 20 miles south. The area for 20 square miles around St. Paul is some of the most fertile irrigated farm land in the country.

In 1935 eight St. Paul farmers and businessmen conceived the idea for the St. Paul Rodeo. Cowboys came from all over Oregon, 50 of them strong, to compete for a rip-roaring purse totaling $500. In 1940 lights were added for night rodeos and purses were increased. Growing crowds prompted construction in 1945 of new bucking chutes as well as a grandstand and bleachers that provided 9,000 seats. Eleven years later another section of grandstand was added to bring the present total seating capacity to 10,500. Today the St. Paul Rodeo, held July 1-4, is in its 72nd year and continues to pursue its goal of producing the finest world-class rodeo in the country.
