history
The city, which is named after Milwaukee , Wisconsin, was founded in 1847 by Lot Whitcomb on the banks of the Willamette River . In the decades after it was founded, the inhabitants made their living from forestry, shipbuilding and agriculture. Originally intended as a cargo handling point and trading center for shipping on the Willamette River, Milwaukie never achieved the importance of neighboring Portland. Due to the decline in population to around 100 in 1901 and the poor general condition of the urban infrastructure, the city was officially incorporated in 1903. After the creation of a city council in 1903, the establishment of water and electricity supply and the opening of a rail link to Portland followed. From 1950, Milwaukie's population quadrupled as many people working in Portland moved to the suburbs.
The National Park Service has six houses for Milwaukie on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as of December 27, 2018, including the Clarence E. Francis House .
