Milwaukie, Suburban city in Portland metropolitan area, United States.
Milwaukie is a city in the Portland metropolitan area that spans portions of Clackamas and Multnomah counties in Oregon. Located near the Willamette River, it forms part of the suburban network east of Portland.
Lot Whitcomb founded the settlement in 1847, aiming to create a rival community to nearby Oregon City. This founding shaped its early role as a trading center along the river.
The city's name reflects early settlers' ties to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and carries a connection to that founding vision. This heritage shapes how residents see themselves today, even as the place has grown in its own direction.
The MAX Orange Line and TriMet buses connect the city directly to Portland and surrounding suburbs. These transit options make day trips and regular commutes to other regional destinations convenient.
Dark Horse Comics and Bob's Red Mill operate their headquarters here, bringing distinctive economic and cultural influence to the area. These established companies draw visitors interested in publishing or artisan food production.
