City History

The Lloyd District in Northeast Portland is named after Ralph Lloyd a California rancher, oilman, and real estate developer who began developing the area. The area west of Interstate 5 is called the Rose Quarter. Prior to urban renewal in the 1950s, this area was an African American residential community, including many who had lost their homes in the Vanport flood of 1948. East of I-5 is the location of most of the district. The Oregon Convention Center and Lloyd Center Mall are the principal landmarks of the area.
