Understand

Once called Robin's Nest, the town of Linn City, located in Oregon, has a rich history. Founded by Robert Moore in the 1840s, the settlement thrived with four flour and lumber mills, along with homes for the mill workers. Moore even operated a ferry to Oregon City. In honor of his friend, Dr. Lewis F. Linn, a U.S. Senator who supported the Donation Land Claim Bill, Moore renamed the town Linn City in 1845. However, tragedies struck in 1857 when a devastating fire destroyed the sawmill, gristmill, wharves, and a docked steamer ship. Despite efforts to rebuild, floods later that same year caused further destruction. The town saw a revival in 1868 when the Willamette Transportation Locks Co. introduced passage for shipping over the majestic Willamette Falls, which continues to this day. In 1913, the City of West Linn was incorporated, encompassing the areas of West Oregon City, Bolton, Sunset, and Willamette Heights. The city founders decided to honor Moore's pioneer town in their choice of name. Today, West Linn is a peaceful bedroom community in the Portland area, preserving the legacy of its past.
