About Johnson City

A Brief History

On June 16, 1970, the residents of a trailer court owned by Delbert Johnson voted 49 to 10 to incorporate. Johnson had started the development in 1959, and in 1968 was unsuccessful in having the area annexed to Gladstone. The 55th Oregon Legislative Assembly in 1969 established a boundary review board to prevent an increase in small incorporated cities, but proponents of Johnson City's incorporation had filed for an election before the law took effect.
