The main industry for the area in the early 1890’s was building bricks which were used in most of Portland’s buildings at the time. The brickyard closed in 1895 and fruit and vegetable cannery and tannery became the main industry until 1971. The city’s main industry now is manufacturing. |

City History

The Tualatin Indians
were the first people to roam the Sherwood area. The
first wagon train arrived in Oregon in 1843 and by 1853
Sherwood was being settled by farmers. In 1885, J.C.
Smock gave the railroad the right-of-way through his
property and the area became known as Smockville. The
main industry for the area in the early 1890’s was
building bricks which were used in most of Portland’s
buildings at the time. The brickyard closed in 1895 and
fruit and vegetable cannery and tannery became the main
industry until 1971. The city’s main industry now is
manufacturing.
Sherwood was indirectly named for the Sherwood Forest in
England. It was first incorporated as a town in 1893.
The Sherwood Heritage Center is located at 22552 Park
Street in Sherwood and is open on Wednesdays and
