<DIV>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.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT face=Arial>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. <BR> ---Oregon Geographic Names 1992; Oregon Post Offices 1847-1982 </FONT>
