| Lewis and Clark first named the Sandy River "Quicksand" but it gradually evolved into "Sandy" and the city of Sandy was named after the nearby River. One of the first settlers to Sandy was the Francis Revenue family which arrived in 1853. They opened a trading post on Barlow Road which went from The Dalles, around Mt. Hood and to Oregon City. Thousand of pioneers traveled this road on their way to the Wilamette Valley. The first post office in Sandy was established in 1873 and the city became incorporated in 1913. |
