Hillsboro
is located in the middle of Tualatin Valley, between the
Cascade Range and the Pacific Ocean. With about an hour
of driving you could ski Mt. Hood, wind sail in the
Columbia River Gorge, or enjoy one of Oregon’s beautiful
beaches. Residents of Hillsboro are 20 minutes away
from downtown Portland and all the attractions the large
city offers. Downtown Hillsboro is a unique blend of
old and new buildings. There is the historic Washington
County Courthouse, with its stately sequoia trees and
across the street is the modern Civic Center which is
part of Hillsboro's vision for its community's future.
The Hillsboro Saturday Farmers' Market is held May
through October on the streets around the Courthouse and
Civic Center.|

| The Atfalati tribe of the Kalapuya lived in the area which is now Hillsboro thousands of years before the early settlers came. The region and climate was good for fishing, hunting, and agriculture. Settlers founded a community in 1842. Later the community was named after David Hill an Oregon politician. The Tualatin River was used as transportation by riverboat until 1870 when a railroad reached the area. With the railroad the community began to develop slowly but steadily until the arrival of the high-tech companies in the 1980’s when growth increased tremendously. |
