A New Map of Portland / by Lee McKnight

Have you ever wondered where neighborhood names come from? We are so fortunate that Adam Aleksic indulged his fascination with etymology and created a blog where he shares his love for language and history through writing and great infographics like this Hidden Etymologies map of our beloved Rose City.

Don't stop at the infographics on etymology, for extra credit, watch this quick video on the origin of the word mortgage.
