Fitzgerald, a preservation planner and consultan,t and Debbie Raber, a project manager for the City of Hillsboro Planning Department, are longtime Hillsboro residents who donated their time to assemble the book.

"Hillsboro" will be on sale at the event with proceeds going to the Hillsboro Downtown Business Association (HDBA) to help support Main Street preservation programs. The book may also be purchased from the HDBA, at local retailers, or online from the publisher at www.arcadiapublishing.com. Royalties will be donated to the city for historic preservation. "Hillsboro" is available at the Hillsboro Library, along with a variety of other local history resources including the Hillsboro Argus from its first issue in 1894 to the present. An accompanying obituary index covering one hundred years is unique in Washington County. A 100-year history of the Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce, 43 years of Hillsboro High yearbooks, the Index of Oregon Land Claims, and Sandborn maps can all be found at the Main Library. A library card also provides free access to the most popular online genealogy resources - Ancestry Library's more than four billion records in census data, vital records, directories and photos, and Heritage Quest with more than 7 million digitized local history pages, and bank and Revolutionary War records. A panel from the Oregon Historical Society's "Oregon is Indian Country" exhibit is also on display at the main library through Jan. 3.
Synopsis
Hillsboro began as a crossroads for the Native American Atfalati, retired trappers, missionaries, and land-hungry settlers whose collection of farms became East Tualatin Plains. These earliest residents were drawn to the rich valley land between the forested creeks. As the missionary influence waned and the railroads arrived in the 1870s, the town, by then called Hillsborough, was dubbed "Sin City." Farmers and merchants quenched their thirst and gambled in saloons and placed bets on horse races down Main Street. Throughout the early 20th century, Hillsboro became predominantly a conservative, family town. Residents enjoyed their town bands, theaters, and Carnegie Library. Then and now on the Fourth of July, proud farmers drive their state-of-the-art farm equipment in the downtown parade, and fireworks light up the sky at the County Fairgrounds. Today the crossroads is one of agriculture and high technology, as people from around the world become new residents of Hillsboro, drawn to the Tualatin River plain as were their predecessors.
