About Oregon City

Oregon City is a community of approximately 37,340 residents in Clackamas County, OR. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Historic downtown with homes dating to the 1890s on the bluff, with newer subdivisions expanding south along Highway 213.

Local Considerations

  • The lower downtown area adjacent to Willamette Falls is within the flood zone and has experienced historical inundation events.
  • Steep basalt bluffs dividing upper and lower Oregon City create landslide risk, especially after sustained winter rainfall.

Water System

Emergency Access

Highway 213 and the Oregon City Bridge provide access but the bluff geography creates dead-end streets in the lower town.
