Hubbard is a city in Marion County, Oregon, United States. The population was 3,426 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area.

History

Hubbard was named for Charles Hubbard, who was an Oregon settler in 1847. The railroad arrived in 1870 and a station was situated in the town.

The city made the news when former President of the United States Donald Trump, as a write-in candidate, won a seat on the board of the Hubbard Rural Fire Protection District in 2023 via a dice-roll tiebreaker over four other write-ins. However, since he didn't live in or own property in the district, he was excluded from the board.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.71 square miles (1.84 km2), all of it land.
