Montavilla
The name Montavilla, actually a contraction of the name Mt. Tabor Villa Addition, was platted in 1889 according to Multnomah County records. A small business district had developed near the landmark survey marker P.5 or mile post 5 – located five miles outside of the city center near the intersection of SE 78th Avenue and Stark Street. The marker had been erected (and is still standing) in 1854 on Baseline Road (Stark St) where it served as a mileage post for visitors coming in and out of Portland. Now Montavilla is a thriving residential community. Stark Street is still the small business hub and the area is growing quickly.
