100 Years Old Lake Oswego Centennial

Lake Oswego is 100 this year and there will be a year-long celebration in our town.

The city of Lake Oswego descends from the community known as Oswego which dates back to about 1850, when Alonzo A. Durham-an immigrant to Oregon in 1847 from New York State-established a sawmill on the banks of Sucker Creek, which drained into a small lake.  The lake was known as Sucker Lake, which was changed in 1913 to Lake Oswego.  Sucker Creek connected the lake to the Willamette River and was renamed Oswego Creek in 1927. The town of Oswego, which had been incorporated in 1910, changed its name to Lake Oswego in 1959.

Join in celebrating the 100 Years Old Lake Oswego Centennial all throughout 2010.  There are lots of events planned.

Along Kruse Way, Lake Oswego.
