About The Fairview-Rockwood-Wilkes
Historical Society
In 1987, under the inspiration
and leadership of Ruth Dulin
of Fairview, a group of interested
people from Fairview and the
surrounding area met to discuss
the forming of a local historical
society. It was subsequently
decided to broaden the base
of interest that resulted
in the formation of the Fairview-Rockwood-Wilkes
Historical Society. This area
covers approximately ten square
miles in East Multnomah county
located between Gresham, Oregon
and the Columbia River.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Fairview-Rockwood-Wilkes
Historical Society is to stimulate
an interest in and preserve
the history of the Fairview,
Rockwood and Wilkes areas of
East Multnomah County, Oregon.
Our goal is to ensure that the
future of these three areas
do not lose touch with their
past.
