The historic Yamhill River Lock and Dam was built in 1900 for better river transport between Dayton and McMinnville. The lock was 210 feet long and 40 feet wide, and the dam helped raise water levels for steamboat navigation in the summer. The lock was abandoned in the 1950s and later given to Yamhill County. Today, the ruins of the lock can be viewed at Lafayette Locks Park.
