HISTORY/POPULATION 

The original inhabitants of Sherwood were the Tualatin Indians. The year 1843 brought settlers in wagon trains to the area. James C. Smock founded the settlement, and Sherwood was originally named Smockville in his honor. However, in 1892, when the town was incorporated, a local businessman suggested "Sherwood", which sounds more aesthetically pleasing and, fittingly, evokes the image of a beautiful forest such as Sherwood Forest in England. Residents were quick to agree, and Smockville became Sherwood.  

In 1911, Sherwood had a population of only 350 and was one square mile in area. Today, the town has grown to encompass around 5 square miles and is home to almost 17,000 people. The economy has diversified as well, growing from a brick manufacturing center to a thriving small town with many shops and cottage industries. 

ABOUT EDUCATION 

There are 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and a high school in the Sherwood school district. close to 5,000 students attend these schools, and grades are above the state average in math, reading, and writing.  

For higher education, Sherwood residents turn to Linfield College. Linfield is a four-year private college offering coed undergraduate study, and specializing in liberal arts, science, international programs, and business. It is located in nearby McMinnville, accessible by Highway 99. George Fox University is another popular alternative that has been named a "Best Value" by U.S. News and World Report. This non-profit Christian college offers 4-year courses.  

Also, Portland abounds with highly noted educational establishments as well. Located about 20 miles from Sherwood, these include Portland Community College and Portland State University, and of course there is Oregon State University in Corvallis and University of Oregon in Eugene.  

The new Sherwood Public Library offers students and others interested in self-education access over 40,000 books, audio & video materials, and Magazine subscriptions.

Real Estate Tips
Curb Appeal >Upgrade Before You Sell

Real estate agents sometimes receive calls from homeowners asking for advice on what they should do to prepare their house to go on the market. They may have settled for living in a "less than optimal" circumstance for years, and are now going to spend money to make it nice for someone else to enjoy.

If you are considering painting, updating the kitchen, landscaping, or making any other improvements that will increase your home's re-sale value, think about making those improvements while you are still there to enjoy them. Create your own dream kitchen, master suite or spa, build an outdoor living room or restore your wood floors now. Improving your property will make your home more enjoyable, help maintain the property values in your neighborhood, and expedite the sale of your home when you are ready for a move.
