History
Approximately 45,000 residents make their home in this centrally
located community in Washington County, 10 miles southwest of downtown Portland,
just minutes from I-5, Highway 217 and Highway 99W. We want to help you find a
great place to live, work and play. Wilson and Polly Tigard
settled the area in the 1850’s. After coming to Oregon by wagon train in
1852, the Tigard’s staked out a 320 acre claim near Bull Mountain. The family
cleared two acres for their homesite, first building a log cabin and later a frame
house. Soon, the Tigard’s had constructed the community’s first general
store, which also served as a community post office, voting place and home for
Tigard’s first telephone. A Victorian-style house built in 1880 for Wilson
Tigard’s eldest son, John, is now an historic landmark located on SW Canterbury
Lane. Another monument to Tigard’s community spirit and past is the Tigard
Windmill at SW 121st Avenue and Katherine Street. Built by Chris Christensen circa
1900 to supply well water for two residences on the Wood-Christensen farm established
in 1866, it is all that remains of the once active 160 acre Wood-Christensen farm
complex. Standing three stories high, the water tower supports a fully intact
windmill which neighborhood residents restored in 1983. Relocation
