Estacada

Estacada straddles the Clackamas River valley in Oregon's Cascade foothills, and its riverside setting has long tied the community to hydropower and the forested country upstream. Founded in 1905 by the Portland Railway, Light and Power Company, the town developed beside a rail line built to serve generating projects on the Clackamas. Downtown's Estacada Mural Project has added large outdoor artworks since 2005, giving its commercial streets a contemporary public-art identity. The Clackamas River remains central to local recreation, while Mount Hood National Forest lies farther upriver.
