Gresham: Wilkes East: I-84 at 162nd
Built around a rail line serving eastern Multnomah County, Gresham grew into a city on Portland’s eastern edge. Interstate 84 crosses its northern side, linking the Portland area with the Columbia River Gorge, while the Cascade foothills rise to the east. The city is named for Walter Q. Gresham, a 19th-century U.S. statesman, and incorporated in 1905. Historic downtown remains focused on Main Avenue, where local businesses and civic institutions stand apart from broad freeway and commercial corridors. Gresham’s position between metropolitan Portland, the Columbia River lowlands and the Mount Hood foothills gives it a transitional character: urban infrastructure and residential districts meet the agricultural and forested land of east Multnomah County.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
