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:
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
