Cascadia is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) that was established in 1892 on the South Santiam River, 14miles east of the current city of Sweet Home, in Linn County, Oregon, United States. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 147.[2]

Originally a stage stop on the Santiam Wagon Road, then a summer resort also known as Cascadia Mineral Springs,[3] 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.
