| One Southwest neighborhood in Portland is Multnomah. It is centered around the Multnomah Village business district. This community developed in 1910 around a depot of the Oregon Electric Railway. It was annexed by the city of Portland on November 7, 1950. One memorable tidbit of history of the area was Mayor Bud Clark firing Police Chief Jim Davis while the two were having a breakfast meeting at the Fat City Cafe. |
