Portland, Oregon is the state’s most populous city and the county seat of Multnomah County. Located near the end of the Oregon Trail along the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, Portland was originally home to the Upper Chinook Indians. The settlement was originally known as “the Clearing” or “Sumptown” by traders and trappers who often stopped at the location along the River between Oregon City and Fort Vancouver. Portland was incorporated in 1851 and soon became a shipping center and supply hub thanks to the two rivers which provided access to the Pacific Ocean. Shipping, the lumber industry and the manufacturing of machinery, transportation equipment and many other goods became the base for the economy in Portland.
Portland remained a major port through the 19th century until railroads made the transportation of goods via the Columbia River unnecessary, but the city continued to grow steadily through the beginning of the 20th century. In 1941 Portland was chosen by Kaiser Shipyards as the site for two shipyards located along the Willamette River. These shipyards, contracted to build Liberty ships and aircraft carriers for war efforts provided a boom in population with the jobs they created.
Portland remains a shipping center and home to many companies in the technology, manufacturing and shipbuilding industries. The city’s history includes many jobsites and occupations where asbestos exposure widely occurred, putting Portland residents at risk of developing mesothelioma cancer.
