McMinnville as described in 1940 [1]

McMinnville, seat of Yamill County, is the trading center of a prosperous agricultural area. It was named by William T. Newby, a native of McMinnville, Tennessee, who came to Oregon in 1844, built a grist mill, and established the town. The town now has a large milk condensing plant, a sash and door factory, two saw mills and a brick & tile factory. It was one of the first in the state to own and operate its water and light systems, and its record on public utility management is frequently cited.
