City of Milwaukie
Milwaukie is a city of 20,000 that’s
nestled on the eastern bank of the
Willamette River just 10 miles south
of Portland. With an active citizenry as
the cornerstone, Milwaukie is poised
for great change. Plans are in place
for a dramatic new park along its riverfront,
and design is in full swing for
the next light rail line that will travel
through Milwaukie’s downtown. But
no matter how much things change,
Milwaukie will always protect its smalltown
feel and rich history. Milwaukie
was fi rst a pioneer village founded in
1848 and formally incorporated as
a city in 1903. It is the birthplace of
the Bing cherry and has come to be
known as the Dogwood City of the
West. To learn more about Milwaukie,
