From west to east the stations are: Elmonica/Southwest 170th Avenue Merlo Road/Southwest 158th Avenue Beaverton Creek Millikan Way Beaverton Central Beaverton Transit Center and Sunset Transit Center. The MAX Blue Line serves all seven stations while the MAX Red Line serves Beaverton Transit Center and Sunset Transit Center. Beaverton Transit Center is TriMet's busiest transit center. In addition to MAX it serves as a transfer point for numerous bus routes on the west side and as the northern terminus of WES Commuter Rail which connects to Wilsonville. Hall/Nimbus the second station southbound on WES is also located in Beaverton. Intercity bus services operating in Beaverton include POINT and TCTD.
Oregon Electric and Red Electric interurban lines once served the city in the early 20th century. In the 1940s Tualatin Valley Stages a division of Portland Stages Inc. provided limited bus transit service connecting the city with downtown Portland operating later as a separate company Tualatin Valley Buses Inc. through the 1960s. This was one of four privately owned bus companies serving the Portland metropolitan area which became collectively known as the "Blue Bus" lines. All four companies were replaced in 1970 by TriMet a then-new regional transit authority which expanded bus service to cover more areas of Beaverton.
The city is the location of a major freeway interchange for U.S. Route 26 (US 26; Sunset Highway) and Oregon Route 217 (OR 217).

Early settlement
According to Oregon Geographic Names Beaverton's name is derived from the settlement's proximity to a large body of water resulting from beaver dams.
The area of Tualatin Valley that became Beaverton was originally the home of a Native American tribe known as the Atfalati which settlers mispronounced as Tualatin. The Atfalati population dwindled in the latter part of the 18th century and the prosperous tribe was no longer dominant in the area by the 19th century when settlers arrived. The tribe named their village Chakeipi which translates to "place of the beaver".
The natives had a village called Chakeipi meaning Place of the Beaver and early settlers referred to it as "Beaverdam". Early settlers include the Hall Family from Kentucky the Denneys who lived on their claim near present-day Scholls Ferry Road and Hall Blvd and Orin S. Allen from western New York. Lawrence Hall purchased 640 acres (2.6 km2) in Beaverdam in 1847 and built a grist mill with his brother near present-day Walker Road. His was the first land claim in the area. He was soon followed by Thomas Denney in 1848 who came to the area and built its first sawmill. In 1860 a toll plank road from Portland to Beaverton was completed over a trail called Canyon Road.
After the American Civil War numerous other settlers including Joshua Welch George Betts Charles Angel W. P. Watson and John Henry laid out what is now known as Beaverton hoping they could bring a railroad to an area once described as "mostly swamps & marshes connected by beaver dams to create what looked like a huge lake." In 1872 Beaverton's first post office opened in a general store operated by Betts who also served as the first postmaster of the community. Betts Street where the current post office now stands is named in honor of him. In 1893 Beaverton which by that time had a population of 400 was officially incorporated. Alonzo Cady a local businessman served as the first mayor. Many major roads in Beaverton are named for these early settlers.
20th century
Beaverton was an early home to automobile dealerships. A Ford Motor Company dealership was established there in 1915; it was purchased by Guy Carr in 1923 and over the years Carr expanded it into several locations throughout Beaverton. There are still several dealerships near the intersection of Walker and Canyon Roads.
In the early 1920s Beaverton was home to Premium Picture Productions a movie studio which produced about fifteen films. The studio site was later converted into Watt's Field and associated aircraft manufacturing facilities. A second Beaverton airport Bernard's Airport was later developed farther north at the present location of the Cedar Hills Crossing mall.
The town's first library opened in 1925. Originally on the second floor of the Cady building it has moved repeatedly; in 2000 it was moved to its current location on Hall Boulevard and 5th Street. A branch location was opened for the first time in June 2010 when the Murray-Scholls location opened near the Murrayhill neighborhood. The Beaverton libraries and 15 other local libraries participate in the Washington County Cooperative Library Services.
21st century
In December 2004 the city and Washington County announced an "interim plan" which would lead to Beaverton becoming the second-largest city in Oregon second only to Portland. The "interim" plan actually covered a period of more than ten years; from the county's perspective the plan supported its strategy of having cities and special districts provide urban services. The city of Beaverton also attempted to annex certain businesses including Nike which responded with a legal and lobbying effort to resist the annexation. The lobbying effort succeeded quickly with the Oregon Legislative Assembly enacting Senate Bill 887 which prohibited Beaverton from annexing Nike without the company's consent. The bill also applied to property owned by Electro Scientific Industries Columbia Sportswear and Tektronix and in August 2008 the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals ruled that the bill also barred the city from annexing property belonging to Leupold & Stevens. (See below under Economy.) Beaverton's legal efforts to annex Nike cost the city over one million dollars. In 2016 Nike unveiled plans to expand its campus by 3.2 million square feet (approximately 3 million square meters) at a projected cost of one billion dollars.
The Oregon State Legislature has also passed legislation which redetermined Washington County's urban growth boundary to include more development. In 2018 the Metro Council voted to once again expand the urban growth boundary to include the Cooper Mountain urban reserve area.
In 2016 voters approved a $35 million bond for a new 75 000-square-foot (7 000 m2) Public Safety Center built to withstand a major earthquake. It will house the city's Emergency Management and Police Departments. Construction began in September 2018 and it is expected to open during the summer of 2020.
The city has tried to encourage transit-oriented development around the city's MAX Light Rail stations. The Round a mixed-use development around Beaverton Central MAX Station on the site of a former sewer plant was announced in 1996. In 2014 the City of Beaverton moved its city hall into The Beaverton Building an office building in The Round. The Round currently consists of 24 000 square foot of retail space with 63 residential condominiums located above. BG's Food Cartel Beaverton's first food cart pod opened in 2018 and has 31 food carts a speakeasy bar and an event venue. A planned arts center at the former site of the Westgate Theater The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts was made possible by pledges from the Beaverton Arts Foundation and Pat Reser along with public sources. The groundbreaking was performed on November 13 2019.
As of January 2020[update] Beaverton covers a total area of 19.7 square miles (51 km2) all of it land except for small creeks ponds and lakes.

Beaverton is a city in Washington County in the U.S. state of Oregon that is located 7 miles (11 km) west of Portland in the Tualatin Valley. The city is among the main cities that make up the Portland metropolitan area. Its population was 89 803 at the 2010 census making it the second-largest city in the county and the sixth-largest city in Oregon. Beaverton is an economic center for Washington County along with neighboring Hillsboro. It is home to the world headquarters of Nike Inc. although it sits outside of city limits on unincorporated county land.
The hunter–gatherer Atfalati tribe of the Kalapuya people inhabited the Tualatin Valley prior to the arrival of European–American settlers in the 19th century. They occupied a village near the Beaverton and Fanno creeks called Chakeipi which meant "place of the beaver" and early white settlers referred to this village as Beaverdam. Lawrence Hall took up the first land claim in 1847 and established a grist mill. The entry of a railroad in 1868 spurred growth in the small farming communities and led to the town's incorporation in 1893.

History
Early settlement
According to Oregon Geographic Names Beaverton's name is derived from the settlement's proximity to a large body of water resulting from beaver dams.
The area of Tualatin Valley that became Beaverton was originally the home of a Native American tribe known as the Atfalati which settlers mispronounced as Tualatin. The Atfalati population dwindled in the latter part of the 18th century and the prosperous tribe was no longer dominant in the area by the 19th century when settlers arrived. The tribe named their village Chakeipi which translates to "place of the beaver".
The natives had a village called Chakeipi meaning Place of the Beaver and early settlers referred to it as "Beaverdam". Early settlers include the Hall Family from Kentucky the Denneys who lived on their claim near present-day Scholls Ferry Road and Hall Blvd and Orin S. Allen from western New York. Lawrence Hall purchased 640 acres (2.6 km2) in Beaverdam in 1847 and built a grist mill with his brother near present-day Walker Road. His was the first land claim in the area. He was soon followed by Thomas Denney in 1848 who came to the area and built its first sawmill. In 1860 a toll plank road from Portland to Beaverton was completed over a trail called Canyon Road.
After the American Civil War numerous other settlers including Joshua Welch George Betts Charles Angel W. P. Watson and John Henry laid out what is now known as Beaverton hoping they could bring a railroad to an area once described as "mostly swamps & marshes connected by beaver dams to create what looked like a huge lake." In 1872 Beaverton's first post office opened in a general store operated by Betts who also served as the first postmaster of the community. Betts Street where the current post office now stands is named in honor of him. In 1893 Beaverton which by that time had a population of 400 was officially incorporated. Alonzo Cady a local businessman served as the first mayor. Many major roads in Beaverton are named for these early settlers.
20th century
Beaverton was an early home to automobile dealerships. A Ford Motor Company dealership was established there in 1915; it was purchased by Guy Carr in 1923 and over the years Carr expanded it into several locations throughout Beaverton. There are still several dealerships near the intersection of Walker and Canyon Roads.
In the early 1920s Beaverton was home to Premium Picture Productions a movie studio which produced about fifteen films. The studio site was later converted into Watt's Field and associated aircraft manufacturing facilities. A second Beaverton airport Bernard's Airport was later developed farther north at the present location of the Cedar Hills Crossing mall.
The town's first library opened in 1925. Originally on the second floor of the Cady building it has moved repeatedly; in 2000 it was moved to its current location on Hall Boulevard and 5th Street. A branch location was opened for the first time in June 2010 when the Murray-Scholls location opened near the Murrayhill neighborhood. The Beaverton libraries and 15 other local libraries participate in the Washington County Cooperative Library Services.
21st century
In December 2004 the city and Washington County announced an "interim plan" which would lead to Beaverton becoming the second-largest city in Oregon second only to Portland. The "interim" plan actually covered a period of more than ten years; from the county's perspective the plan supported its strategy of having cities and special districts provide urban services. The city of Beaverton also attempted to annex certain businesses including Nike which responded with a legal and lobbying effort to resist the annexation. The lobbying effort succeeded quickly with the Oregon Legislative Assembly enacting Senate Bill 887 which prohibited Beaverton from annexing Nike without the company's consent. The bill also applied to property owned by Electro Scientific Industries Columbia Sportswear and Tektronix and in August 2008 the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals ruled that the bill also barred the city from annexing property belonging to Leupold & Stevens. (See below under Economy.) Beaverton's legal efforts to annex Nike cost the city over one million dollars. In 2016 Nike unveiled plans to expand its campus by 3.2 million square feet (approximately 3 million square meters) at a projected cost of one billion dollars.
The Oregon State Legislature has also passed legislation which redetermined Washington County's urban growth boundary to include more development. In 2018 the Metro Council voted to once again expand the urban growth boundary to include the Cooper Mountain urban reserve area.
In 2016 voters approved a $35 million bond for a new 75 000-square-foot (7 000 m2) Public Safety Center built to withstand a major earthquake. It will house the city's Emergency Management and Police Departments. Construction began in September 2018 and it is expected to open during the summer of 2020.
The city has tried to encourage transit-oriented development around the city's MAX Light Rail stations. The Round a mixed-use development around Beaverton Central MAX Station on the site of a former sewer plant was announced in 1996. In 2014 the City of Beaverton moved its city hall into The Beaverton Building an office building in The Round. The Round currently consists of 24 000 square foot of retail space with 63 residential condominiums located above. BG's Food Cartel Beaverton's first food cart pod opened in 2018 and has 31 food carts a speakeasy bar and an event venue. A planned arts center at the former site of the Westgate Theater The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts was made possible by pledges from the Beaverton Arts Foundation and Pat Reser along with public sources. The groundbreaking was performed on November 13 2019.

Beaverton is a city in Washington County in the U.S. state of Oregon that is located 7 miles (11 km) west of Portland in the Tualatin Valley. The city is among the main cities that make up the Portland metropolitan area. Its population was 89 803 at the 2010 census making it the second-largest city in the county and the sixth-largest city in Oregon. Beaverton is an economic center for Washington County along with neighboring Hillsboro. It is home to the world headquarters of Nike Inc. although it sits outside of city limits on unincorporated county land.
The hunter–gatherer Atfalati tribe of the Kalapuya people inhabited the Tualatin Valley prior to the arrival of European–American settlers in the 19th century. They occupied a village near the Beaverton and Fanno creeks called Chakeipi which meant "place of the beaver" and early white settlers referred to this village as Beaverdam. Lawrence Hall took up the first land claim in 1847 and established a grist mill. The entry of a railroad in 1868 spurred growth in the small farming communities and led to the town's incorporation in 1893.
