Lake Oswego, Oregon, Sports

Welcome to the Bonosearch page for Sports in Lake Oswego, Oregon, Sports, Oregon

Lake Oswego is located in Clackamas County, south of Portland between Milwaukie and West Linn along Interstate 5 and the Willamette River.

Until the mid-1800s, Lake Oswego was a sleepy assembly of homesteads and farms between the Willamette and Tualatin River. A small population of Native Americans (the Clackamas Indians) had occupied the land, but diseases brought by early explorers killed all but a few. The town of "Oswego" was founded in 1847 by Albert Alonzo Durham. He secured the first Donation Land Claim, and named the town after his birthplace in New York. He built the town's first industry, a sawmill on Sucker Creek (now Oswego Creek).

The body of water from which the town derives its name was created artificially by diverting water from the Willamette River.

Popular attractions include: Millennium Plaza Park, Lake Oswego State Park, Water Sports Center, Adult Community Center, Lake Oswego Golf Course and the Indoor Tennis Center.
