Tanasbourne, Oregon
Tanasbourne, Oregon, is a neighborhood in Washington County, Oregon, where NW 185th Avenue and the Sunset Highway (part of U.S. Highway 26) intersect. It is located within the Portland metropolitan area. The area sits between Beaverton and Hillsboro, and is generally considered to be south of U.S. 26, north of Walker Road, west of 158th, and east of Cornelius Pass Road. The area has many shopping areas and is the former home of the defunct Tanasbourne Mall.
==History==
In the 1970s Standard Insurance Company developed a large tract of land along the Sunset Highway near 185th Avenue. The name of the development is a hybrid of the Middle English term ''bourn'' and ''tenas'' from the Chinook jargon.〔 The latter term translates as small and the former as creek, giving the term tanasbourne the meaning of small, pretty creeks.〔
Standard developed an indoor mall at the site, with the mall opening in 1975.〔 In 1976, a library was opened in the community, and in 1990 the city of Hillsboro took over those operations and maintained the branch until 2007, when it was closed and a new main branch of the Hillsboro Public Library was opened farther west.〔(Hillsboro Libraries )〕 In 1983, the county approved a master plan created by Standard to develop at Tanasbourne. Hillsboro annexed much of the Tanasbourne area in 1987.〔 The next year plans were announced for an expansion of the old mall along with construction of new retail buildings in the area. The mall was never expanded.
Hillsboro started working to designate the area as a town center within Metro's planning framework in 1996. The Streets of Tanasbourne lifestyle shopping mall opened along Cornell Road in October 2004 after original approval for the project in 2000.〔 Hillsboro is in the process of planning a major redevelopment of the area.
