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, May 14th at Central Lutheran Church, now PYP, at 7:00 pm. Entrance in the rear. Call or email for the code to enter.
We will have Portland City Council member, Sameer Kanal, to provide an update and take questions. We will also vote on whether to send a letter to PPS regarding the potential closure of Irvington School and we will vote on funding a music group for the upcoming Movies in the Park. The Home Tour Committee will makes its final presentation prior to the upcoming Home Tour. Other Committees, including Land Use, will provide updates. We will likely further discuss Klickitat Mall. All neighbors are invited and encouraged to attend. Our final meeting of the year, in June, will include board elections.
