Milwaukie has a rich and vibrant history. Here we provide resources and links to outside resources that highlight how Milwaukie was founded, became a City and those who contributed to its history.

The word Milwaukie is believed to derive from a Potawatomi Indian word meaning "fine land" or possibly "council place" (see Wisconsin Historical Society).  Before the arrival of American and European explorers and settlers, the Milwaukie area was part of the homeland of the Clackamas Indians, members of the Upper Chinook language group who occupied much of present day Clackamas County.

The Library is the center of the community hosting programs and events, lending a wide range of materials and providing services to the community. To make all of this possible we get huge support from the community.

Are you interested in knowing more about how Milwaukie's 7 Neighborhood District Associations (NDAs) function? Or maybe you are already involved with your NDA and want to get some tips and fresh ideas?
