Talk:David Logan (Oregon politician)

Multnomah County
I suspect that the Williams article in the Oregon Historical Quarterly, saying that in 1854 Washington County included what was later Multnomah County, is somewhat oversimplified. The 1850 map of Oregon counties shows Washington County including just that portion of Multnomah west of the Willamette River. If Portland was entirely west of the river at that time, it included Portland, but not the rest of the future Multnomah, most of which is east of the river. Multnomah was created in 1857 and by 1860 had its current boundaries. Source: Thorndale & Dollarhide, Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, p. 281-2. Kalimac (talk) 18:33, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, already knew that, and yes all of Portland at that time was on the west bank of the river (East Portland was a separate city). I've changed the wording in the article to alleviate your fears with the much/most dichotomy. It is simplified because the article is about Logan, not the county boundaries. It is only included to allow readers with less knowledge to be able to understand why he represented Washington County when he lived in Portland, that's it.

 * I agree there's no need to go into detail in this article, but there's also no need to be inaccurate or misleading. Your changes solve the problem. Kalimac (talk) 16:54, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
