In the autumn of 1916, a small group of men began meeting in the Hazelwood Confectionary & Restaurant in downtown Portland. Well-educated, eager to foster positive change, and dissatisfied with the operation of the city’s public institutions, they felt that existing service organizations gave them no voice. They decided to form a “distinctive club” along the lines of the new “city clubs” in Eastern cities, which served as community “watchdogs,” so they formed City Club of Portland. Membership is open to everyone of high school age and older.
