Parkrose was founded in 1911 and by 1925 the district was "one of the most progressive and promising commuting districts on the eastern border of the city". Stretching from the Columbia River to I-84, the district is home to many longtime businesses including Parkrose Hardware (10625 NE Sandy Blvd) and Elmer's Restaurant (10001 NE Sandy Blvd).
