Gresham is a city located in Multnomah County, Oregon, in the United States, immediately east of Portland. Though it began as a settlement in the mid-1800s, it was not officially incorporated as a city until 1905; it was named after Walter Quinton Gresham, the American Civil War general and United States Postmaster General.
The city's early economy was sustained largely by farming, and by the mid-20th century the city experienced a population boom, growing from 4,000 residents to over 10,000 between 1960 and 1970. The population was 105,594 at the 2010 census, making Gresham the fourth largest city in Oregon.

Beautiful peaceful place
It seems a bit closer to farms & nature, yet has nice areas to shop and boasts a fine hospital and many good doctors in the area. The neighborhoods seem quieter and more family & elder friendly. Lots of businesses have sprung up in the past few years as well. Over all I Love Gresham!
