Lake Oswego’s History Explored in New Book - 10/26/2009 Arcadia Publishing More Info on This Book: Lake Oswego
Lake Oswego chronicles the town’s bucolic beginnings, industrial heyday, and successful repurposing from a community based on resource extraction to one of Oregon’s most beautiful towns, renamed Lake Oswego after a 1960 merger with nearby Lake Grove.
