Milwaukie: Older Than Portland on the Willamette
Milwaukie was founded in 1848 by Lot Whitcomb along the Willamette River in Clackamas County, predating Portland by a few months. The city's population is approximately 20,830. Milwaukie's early commercial prospects as a river port were eclipsed by Portland's rise, and the town settled into a residential role through the 20th century as part of the southeastern Portland metropolitan area.
The Bing cherry, one of the most widely grown sweet cherry varieties in the world, was developed in Milwaukie in 1875 by Seth Lewelling on his orchard property and named for his Chinese employee. Dark Horse Comics, the third-largest comic book publisher in the United States, is headquartered in Milwaukie. Hector Campbell, the founder of several Oregon banking interests, also operated from the area in the 19th century.
The MAX Orange Line, which opened in 2015, connects Milwaukie to downtown Portland via Portland State University and crosses the Willamette on Tilikum Crossing, a bridge reserved for transit, bicycles, and pedestrians.
