History

Gresham is a city located in Multnomah County, Oregon County, Oregon, United States immediately east of Portland, Oregon It was named for the American Civil War general, and United States Postmaster General General, Walter Quinton Gresham. Lewis Shattuck, son of a pioneer family, was the first mayor. A local storeowner offered to use his store as a post office and offered to name the city after United States Postmaster General General Walter Quinton Gresham if a post office was granted. Although a post office was established in May, 1884, Gresham was not incorporated as a city until 1905. Until that time, the city had simply been known as Campground because this forested site was where pioneers often stopped to spend the night and compose themselves before moving on to Portland.
