The history of Gresham; Oregon; is rooted in the pioneers who trekked along the Oregon Trail in the 1800s. Traveling down the Columbia River or over the precipitous route by scenic Mount Hood; they arrived in what was then called Powell Valley; so named by the first settlers. They found trees that were unparalleled; tall; and straight; which they used to build their first communities. The rich; fertile land was cleared to grow an array of crops that would eventually make the area well known for its agriculture.
