>Portland is in Multnomah County > A slight correction if I may.. Portland is in 3 counties; Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas. The downtown area is Multnomah County. It would depend on what area of Portland that the NATION's resided in as to which county it is. The description of Multnomah County, from the Oregon State Archives, is as follows: Multnomah County was created on Dec 22, 1854.... The land was taken from the eastern portion of Washington County and the northern part of Clackamas County. The borders have remained relatively unchanged to the present. -- Loretta "Loni" Parrett Welsh Boring, Oregon, USA Researching: ASHPOLE, AUSTEN, COLE, EVEREST, MILLS, PARRO(E)TT, SQUIRE(S), SWAN, WALLS, & WICKENDEN from England HAGEY, LIVENGOOD, & SHUCK from Germany & Switzerland I use Archive CD Books in my research. http://archivecdbooks.org __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
