Laurel, Oregon

Laurel is an unincorporated community in Washington County, Oregon, United States. Settled in 1872, the community is located between Hillsboro and Newberg, in the southern portion of the Tualatin Valley in the foothills of the Chehalem Mountains. The community retains its agricultural heritage.〔Mandel, Michelle. Scenic sojourn. ''The Oregonian'', November 4, 1999.〕 Laurel is served by the Hillsboro School District and includes the century-old Laurel Valley Store.
==History==
When the Euro-American settlers came to what is now Washington County, the area was inhabited by the Atfalati Native American group. Smallpox epidemics struck the Atfalati and by the mid-1830s only 10 percent of the tribe was left. An 1855 government treaty removed the remaining Atfalati to the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation where there are still about 20 individuals who identify themselves as Atfalati.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Lookout )
In 1872, the Mulloy family settled the area that is now Laurel.〔Mulloy, E.C. "Laurel receives post office in 1879 after long wait". ''Hillsboro Argus'', October 19, 1976, Communities, p. 12.〕 In May 1879, the Laurel post office was established with Alfred Mulloy, Sr. as postmaster.〔 Mail was delivered once per week until 1881 when deliveries increased to twice per week.〔 The population was 150 people in 1880, but dropped to 29 in the 1900 census.
The Laurel Valley Store was opened in 1893 by Gus, Maud, and Jacob Messinger.〔Gardner, Fran. Laurel Valley Store has survived nearly a Century. ''The Oregonian'', August 1, 1991.〕 A small one-room schoolhouse was built later.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Farmington View School History )〕 A telephone line was extended to Laurel in 1904 from Hillsboro with four customers.〔 The population grew to 50 residents in 1910.〔 In 1923, Laurel Community Hall was constructed for about $5,000.〔 The post office was closed in 1935.
