Historically, Kenton was home to Portland's main stockyards. The 1959 Oregon Centennial Celebrations were held in Kenton, and a large statue of Paul Bunyan was erected at the intersection of N. Interstate Avenue and N. Argyle Street as a reminder of those centennial festivities. Kenton is a diverse neighborhood which is undergoing great change with lots of new joining the longtime residents. Denver Avenue is the commercial hub and undergoing tremendous change.

These “Neighborhood Pages” serve as a portal to information for individual neighborhoods from a variety of sources. The photo and description of the neighborhood were pulled from a variety of sources including neighborhood websites, portlandneighborhood.com, wikipedia sites and the ONI Webmaster's brain. We would love to get input from the neighborhoods themselves for these descriptions as well as ideas for photos that best represent your neighborhood. Any input will be gladly excepted by the ONI Web Administrator.
