Shaw is an unincorporated communityinMarion County, Oregon, United States, on Oregon Route 214.[1]

Shaw was a station in the Waldo Hills between Macleay and Aumsville on the Oregonian Railway (later the Southern Pacific Railroad and today the Willamette Valley Railway).[2][3] In 1881 the station was named "Waldo Hills" but the name was changed to "Shaw" in 1891 to match the post office.[4]

Shaw post office was established in 1887 and named for Angus Shaw, the first postmaster.[4] Shaw was from Ontario, Canada and settled in the area 1876.[4] The post office closed in 1937.[4]

In 1915 Shaw had two grain mills, which no longer exist.[2] As of 2005, Shaw had 18 dwellings, a machine shop, a general store building, a warehouse and a church.[5]

The Shaw area was settled by pioneer Daniel Waldo in the 1840s.[6]
