[or-roots] History of Parkrose, OR

[CARROLLOUC at aol.com]

Thank you for the info on Parkrose, however my question was on Montavilla. My 
grandparents had a dairy in Parkrose in the 1920/30's and we lived there when 
I was a small child. We moved to Montavilla, where my mother was born and 
raised, about 1932. We lived there until the summer of 1941 when we moved back to 
Parkrose. I lived there until 1949 when I moved with my husband to S. Oregon 
where I still reside. Both of my brother's still live in Parkrose so I know it 
well.

Thanks anyway
Carroll
Parkrose, established December 1, 1921, is a branch post office of Portland 
serving an area northeast of the city. Prior to the incorporation of Maywood 
Park in 1967, the whole area was considered Park Rose and the name in 1990 is 
still in general use although a sizable part is within the corporate limits of 
the new community. A subdivision located adjacent to northeast Portland, the 
plat of Park Rose was filed on October 5, 1911, and the name was doubtless 
suggested because of the proximity of Rose City Park, the plat of which was filed 
in March 1907. It is said that a Portland businessman, Frank E. Beach, was the 
originator of the name Rose City as applied to Portland.
