City History
|
| In 1905, Estacada was
founded and was a camp for workers whom were building a
dam on the Clackamas River to supply Portland with
electricity. The Oregon Power Railway Company had to
build a railway in order for the workers to get to the
river to work on the construction of the dam. The
railway was used as a weekend destination to the river
on the weekends and used during the week to carry
freight and the dam workers. Soon a trolley line was
built between Estacada and downtown Portland. However
now there is no rail service to Estacada and the railway
line has been removed. |
