History
TriMet began construction of the Westside MAX project in 1994, with the Orenco Station stop opening on September 12, 1998, with the rest of the line. The station’s location helped to spur growth in the area with transit oriented developments for both commercial and residential usage. This includes the 190-acre (0.77 km2) Orenco Station development that opened in September 1997, a year before the MAX station opened.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
