Linnton

A Southwest Neighborhood in Portland, Oregon

Experience the Relaxing Linnton Lifestyle

Linnton, situated in Portland's northwest corridor, offers a unique blend of industrial heritage and natural beauty. Flanked by the Willamette River and Forest Park, residents enjoy scenic landscapes and outdoor activities. The community's rich history dates back to its platting in 1843 by Peter Burnett and Morton M. McCarver, who named it after U.S. Senator Lewis F. Linn.

Despite its proximity to downtown Portland, Linnton maintains a distinct small-town atmosphere. The neighborhood's layout along U.S. Route 30 provides easy access to urban amenities while preserving its tranquil environment. Local landmarks, such as the Linnton Community Center, serve as hubs for social gatherings and events.

Community involvement is a cornerstone of Linnton's identity. The Linnton Neighborhood Association actively engages residents in discussions about development and environmental conservation, reflecting a strong sense of pride and unity.
