City History
|
| Boring was named after
W.H. Boring an early resident of the area. Borings
unique name often seems humorous to outsiders especially
when advertised as the most exciting place to live.
Throughout most of the 20th century Boring was a timber
town using the Portland Traction Company (a now non
operational railroad) which operated a line from
Portland (near OMSI) on the Willamette River to Boring
by way of Gresham. Much of that line now has been
purchased by the government and is known as the
Springwater Corridor. In 2005, citizens applied to
become a village but after many months of debate, it was
not to be with a vote of 293 in favor and 298 against. |
