Amity is a small community located in Yamhill County, named after the amicable resolution of a dispute over schools. Ahio Watt founded Amity in 1849, and then later incorporated in 1880. It is in the heart of Oregon's Wine Regions of Oregon.

The community lies on Highway 99W and is a few miles south of McMinnville.
