Milwaukie as described in 1940 [1]

Milwaukie is a quiet, suburban town spread over low hills. Founded in 1848 by Lot Whitcomb [1806-1857], it soon became the rival of Portland and other river towns for the commercial supremacy of the Oregon country. Here, on the banks of the Willamette, Whitcomb and his associates constructed the Lot Whitcomb, in its day the finest steamboat plying the river. Milwaukie failed to become the important commercial port that its founder had hoped.
