History of Korean Americans in Portland, Oregon

According to Willamette Week, "Though the first home of Portland's Korean immigrants was Gresham in the '60s, the 'Tron's manufacturing boom in the late '70s brought a wave of Korean immigrants to Beaverton in the Cedar Hills and downtown areas."[1]

Portland has "great Korean food", according to Willamette Week,[2] and many Korean restaurants.[3][4]

Lori Stegmann became the first Korean American Commissioner on the Multnomah County Board, and has been recognized by the Korean Society of Oregon for her work.[5]

The Korean Temple Bell is installed outside the Oregon Convention Center.

The Portland-based company New Seasons Market was sold to a South Korean company.[6]
