The area was originally home to the Atfalati (mispronounced Tualatin) band of Kalapuya (Calapooya) Indians, most of whom had died from settler-borne diseases by the time their land was taken by treaty. The Beaverton area was settled in 1847 and laid out in 1869. It became a station on the Oregon Central (now Southern Pacific) Railroad (Southern Pacific Railroad). An agricultural-trade centre named for nearby beaver marshes, it has developed as a residential community in the heart of Oregon's “Silicon Forest,” with electronics and research industries. Inc. 1893. Pop. (1970) 18,577; (1990) 53,310; (2000) 76,129.
