Welcome
The Irvington neighborhood is located in the northeast section of Portland, Oregon. The neighborhood traces its history to the William and Elizabeth Irving Donation Land Claim of 1851 as well as several small adjoining subdivisions. The neighborhood streets were laid out in 1887, and residential lots began selling in 1891.
An early example of a streetcar suburb, Irvington contains the largest, most diverse, and intact collections of Queen Anne, Arts and Crafts, and Colonial Revival style residences in the City of Portland as well as the State of Oregon. In 2010, Irvington was designated an historic district and added to the National Register of Historic Places.
In 1966, a group of neighbors formed the Irvington Community Association (ICA). Today, the ICA continues to play an important role in promoting and preserving one of Portland's most vibrant and livable neighborhoods.
From street tree inventories to land use meetings to the Irvington Home Tour - there are countless ways to participate.

Next ICA Meeting
Thursday, September 10th, Central Lutheran Church, now PYP, at 7:00 pm. Entrance in the rear. Call or email for the code to enter. We will be meeting in the Nave this month due to PYP auditions.
Officers from the North Precinct will attend, if able. The budget for the upcoming year will be approved after review. John McCulloch will present a plan to have the former Peace House act as an artistically themed haunted house (no chain saws or loud jump scares) prior to renovation. The board will discuss issues along the Broadway corridor near the Post Office. All neighbors are invited and encouraged to attend. The board will elect a couple of board members to open board positions. If you are a renter and/or believe you may represent an under-represented demographic, you are definitely encouraged to join.
