One of the Oregon communities we know and serve.
Oak Grove is a historic unincorporated community in Clackamas County and part of the greater Portland metropolitan area, bordered to the north by the city of Milwaukie.
According to Oregon Geographic Names, a member of the survey team suggested the name after the group stopped for lunch at "a fine grove of oak trees" in the northwest part of the tract. The name Oak Lodge is often used for businesses and organizations that serve both Oak Grove and neighboring Jennings Lodge, such as the Oak Lodge Library.
