Wilsonville, Suburban city in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States
Wilsonville is a city in Clackamas County that spans both sides of the Willamette River, mixing residential neighborhoods with commercial areas. The center sits at an elevation of about 47 meters and blends rural and urban features together.
Alphonso Boone, grandson of Daniel Boone, founded a ferry crossing the Willamette River in 1847, which led to Boones Landing's establishment. This early trade route eventually grew into a settled community.
The annual Festival of Arts each May draws artists, craftspeople, and performers who share their work directly with visitors. This gathering has become an important meeting point for the local creative community.
The regional transit system South Metro Area Regional Transit connects the city to Portland via WES commuter rail and bus routes. Tualatin Park & Ride serves as a key hub for commuters and visitors exploring the wider area.
The city has maintained a sister city relationship with Kitakata, Japan since 1988, reflecting interest in cross-cultural exchange. This long-standing international partnership shows the community's openness to global connections.
