hawthorne, portland, oregon

The Hawthorne District in Portland, Oregon is an area of Southeast Portland that runs along Hawthorne Boulevard. It is known for its young, liberal residents and European feel. Historically, the district has been populated by Generation X and hippies, but recently, hipsters have become more common. Residents are attracted by the vintage homes and apartments, and the locally owned shops and restaurants. Hawthorne Boulevard was named after Dr. J.C. Hawthorne, the cofounder of Oregon's first mental hospital. The road was originally named Asylum Street. In 1883 the Oregon State Mental Hospital moved to its present location in Salem, and the street was renamed in honor of Dr. Hawthorne.
