About the area |
The Native Americans occupied a village located on the Beaverton and Fanno creeks whose name meant âPlace of the Beaverâ. Early settlers called the village âBeaver Damâ and this was later changed to Beaverton. In 1847, the first land claim (comprising 640 acres of beaverdam) located in what is now Beaverton was taken by one settler. Along with his family he built a grist mill. The mill along with others that were soon built in the area supported Oregonâs early agriculture communities. The coming of the railroad into town in 1868 spurred growth of the city. Beaverton has a over 100 parks encompassing 1,000 acres. A park is located within a half mile of every home and the City features 30 miles of hiking trails and a 25 mile network of bike paths.
