• History

Beaverton’s first mayor was Alonzo Cady in 1893.  His family ran a boot and shoe business which became the towns leading merchant. 

Guy Carr (Carr Dealership) arrived in Beaverton, in 1919 and soon after bought his stepfather’s (Otto Erickson) Ford dealership at the Farmington location and sold Fords until the building burned in 1930.  Carr’s present day location is on Southwest Canyon Rd. In 1987  Guy Carr retired after 68 years in the automobile business in Beaverton, Oregon. Guy Carr also served on the Beaverton City Council for several years.

The Allens: The busy intersection of Southwest Allen and Hall Blvd is the location where early Beaverton resident Orrin S. Allen lived. Allen was said to be scholarly as well as a carpenter and painter.

• Some of my favorite Beaverton community restaurants
• Big’s Chicken – 4570 SW Watson Ave, Beaverton, OR 97005.  It’s family friendly, the chicken is delish and the fries are like none other.

• Decarli – 4545 SW Watson Ave, Beaverton, OR 97005. Great place, food and service. All the elements of a high end downtown restaurant right in downtown Beaverton!
• Westgate Bourbon Bar and Taphouse – One of my favorites. It can get busy but don’t worry, you can order your favorite beverage (over 900 bottles to choose from) to sip on while you wait in their oversized waiting area or head to the bar/lounge area.  I have not had a bad dish there yet and I’m on number 6.
