Location
This undeveloped parcel is located at 103rd and Canterbury Lane
East Butte Heritage Park
East Butte Heritage Park is located along 103rd Avenue and Canterbury Lane, where the
historic John Tigard House is located. The John Tigard House
will remain on the site and a neighborhood park is slated for construction
on the remaining portion of the parcel.
Wilson Tigard settled near this property in 1852 and at that time, the Tigard area was known as
“East Butte.” In honor of the 100th birthday of Curtis Tigard, grandson of founding father
Wilson Tigard, the city named this new park “East Butte Heritage Park.”
The Tigard City Council found the celebration of Curtis Tigard’s 100th birthday a fitting
time to reflect upon the rich heritage of the Tigard family and chose a name which reflects
this heritage and the early history of the Tigard area.
