Sandy, Gateway city in Clackamas County, United States.
Sandy is a city in Clackamas County, Oregon, situated along Highway 26 and surrounded by forest. It serves as a gateway for visitors heading toward the mountains and Mount Hood National Forest.
Sandy began as a settlement in 1853 and was officially incorporated as a city in 1913. The Sandy River influenced the area's development and growth.
The city maintains strong ties to its logging heritage while hosting regular community gatherings and seasonal festivals at Meinig Memorial Park.
The city offers straightforward access and sits close to hiking trails and outdoor activities in the forest. Travelers can find lodging and supplies here before heading into the wilderness.
Two women were elected to city offices in 1919, making this place an early leader in female representation in Oregon local government. This choice was unusual for that era and showed the community's forward thinking.
