About Lake Oswego

The Clackamas Indians once occupied the land now known as Lake Oswego, but diseases transmitted by European explorers and traders centuries ago have removed most traces of the tribes. Prior to the popularity of the Oregon Trail, the land between the Willamette River and Tualatin River was a mere collection of early pioneer homesteads and farms. However, Lake Oswego today is home to 36,000 residents and is located only 8 miles south of Portland. Lake Oswego is one of the most affluent suburbs of Portland, making residents of a Lake Oswego house or apartment for rent very thankful for the supportive community, easy commute to work, and comfortable lifestyle. A rail that runs along the shore of Lake Oswego provides for a quick transit between the city and Portland, a few minutes away.
