Origin Notes and History of City of Troutdale
References to City of Troutdale that document the origin of its place name
TROUTDALE, the community was once known as Sandy. Sandy post office was established June 1, 1854, with Emsley R. Scott postmaster. The office was discontinued February 26, 1868. It was apparently near the present site of the town Troutdale. Captain John Harlow, an Oregon pioneer from Maine, originated the name Troutdale, because of the fact there was a small dale near his house where he had a fish pond, which he stocked with trout. This occurred about 1880. Shortly thereafter he secured the establishment of Troutdale post office. This office was for a time discontinued. When the railroad built through this section of the country the station was named Troutdale, at the request of Captain Harlow, and so it has been known ever since.
