North Clackamas - Paperback

by Mark W. Hurlburt (Author)

The communities of North Clackamas, a region spanning the northern area of Clackamas County, Oregon, have been linked together since at least the early 20th century, when residents considered seceding from the rest of the county. Since then, newspapers, organizations, districts, and attractions have all incorporated the "North Clackamas" name. Images of America: North Clackamas introduces a history of this region through imagery with a main focus on the areas served by the North Clackamas School District. Among the cities and communities featured are Milwaukie, Happy Valley, Clackamas, Oak Grove, Jennings Lodge, Carver, Damascus, and more.
