Milwaukie

Milwaukie occupies the east bank of the Willamette River in northwestern Oregon, immediately south of Portland. Established in 1847 by steamboat builder Lot Whitcomb, the community developed as a river town before becoming part of the Portland metropolitan area. Its best-known contribution to American horticulture is the Bing cherry: Seth Lewelling introduced the variety in Milwaukie in 1875 and named it for Ah Bing, a Chinese foreman who worked in his orchard. Downtown centers on Main Street and the riverfront, while Kellogg Creek and Kellogg Lake add a quieter waterside element.
