THE HISTORY UF TIEARD from BY c. J. SCHAMCNII When I came to Tigard in 1908, there were no railroads or highways, just a few mud trails. My parents built the first building, housing a grocery store, dance hall and a hotel. The next building was constructed by Mr. Boland, which is now occupied by the Schubring and Biedermen Grocery Store. All of the supplies had to be hauled from Portland over dirt roads. In the following years, other buildings appeared to augment the size of our town, livery barns, meat market, the William Ariss blacksmith shop, Schamoni barber shop and post office. The first residences were the old Burnam place and Pete Morin place-soon fol- lowed by others until today Tigard is a town of modern homes. The first school was located on a tract of land back of the Pier Auto Court. The present Tigard Grade School is located on its original tract. The High School was not established until many years later. The first church built in Tigard was the Catholic Church, followed later by the Methodist, then the Evangelical. This little town has grown from the era of scrub oak to a modern place-containing many modern homes, schools, churches, theater, and business establishments. It is served by a modern four-lane highway which makes it a fifteen minute drive from the center of Portland. The people are progressive, loyal, patriotic and justly proud and appreciative of their surroundings and opportunities. I have lived almost all of my life in Tigard and raised my family here and I say with pride that Tigard is one of the finest towns in the Tualatin Valley.
