Introduction: "The City of Hillsboro is home to unique historic and cultural resources. Settled in the 1830s and inhabited by the Atfalati people long before that, Hillsboro has deep historical roots. Since the 1980s, the City's most significant historic resources are documented in the Hillsboro Cultural Resource Inventory (CRI). The CRI ensures that listed buildings, landscapes, and trees are continually preserved for the benefit of Hillsboro's residents. Any significant alterations or additions to these resources must be reviewed and approved by the City. John Krahmer Historic Preservation Grants are also available to aid in the continued preservation of CRI properties. This booklet presents a sample of Hillsboro's 82 CRI listings as of June 2019. These listings include single-family homes, apartment buildings, Downtown storefronts, landscapes, and even statues. They are located throughout the City, from Old Orenco to alongside Tualatin Valley Highway." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to Oregon Heritage, Parks and Recreation Department, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P18AF00014).
