Lake Oswego: Portland's Affluent Southern Suburb
Lake Oswego sits south of Portland in a tri-county arrangement that straddles Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties, with a population of approximately 38,496. The city centers on Oswego Lake, a 405-acre body of water created from the original Sucker Lake through a series of dam and channel projects beginning in the 1880s. The lake remains privately controlled by the Lake Oswego Corporation, a homeowner association that limits public access.
The city originated as an iron-smelting town in the 1860s and 1870s. The Oregon Iron Company blast furnace, operated from 1867 to 1894, is preserved in George Rogers Park along the Willamette River and remains one of the few surviving 19th-century iron furnaces on the West Coast. After iron production declined, the area shifted toward residential development for wealthy Portland commuters through the 20th century.
Median household incomes in Lake Oswego rank among the highest in Oregon, and the city is home to Lakeridge High School and Lake Oswego High School, both consistently ranked among the top public secondary schools in the state. A Street and State Street form the historic downtown core along the Willamette.
