Like many towns in the Willamette Valley, Tigard was originally settled by several families, the most noteworthy of which was the Tigard family, headed by Wilson M. Tigard. Arriving in the area known as "East Butte" in 1852, the family settled and became involved in organizing and building the East Butte School, a general store (which starting in 1886 housed the area's post office) and a meeting hall, and renamed East Butte to "Tigardville". The Evangelical organization built the Emanuel Evangelical Church at the foot of Bull Mountain, south of the Tigard store in 1886. A blacksmith shop was opened in the 1890s by John Gaarde across from the Tigard Store, and in 1896 a new E. Butte school was opened to handle the growth the community was experiencing from an incoming wave of German settlers.

Oregon City is the first city in the United States incorporated west of the Rockies. It is the county seat of Clackamas County, Oregon.

It was established by Dr. John McLoughlin in 1829 near the confluence of the Clackamas River with the Willamette to take advantage of the power of Willamette Falls to run a lumber mill. During the 1840s and 1850s it was the destination for those wanting to file land claims after traveling the Oregon Trail as the last stop on the trail.

The grandson of Daniel Boone, Alphonse Boone, settled in what would later become Wilsonville and established Boone's Ferry across the Willamette River. In protest of the construction of the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, specifically the effect of the prison on property values, Larry Eaton began erecting school buses on his property. The buses had a worse effect on property values than the prison did. The former site of Dammasch State Hospital was proposed as a location for Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, but met with much local controversy. Instead, the former hospital building and grounds are currently being used by Villebois, which is a development project. Living Enrichment Center, a New Thought Church with as many as 3,000 members, was headquartered in Wilsonville from 1992 until 2004.
