Search for the house’s address in digital newspaper archives
To get started, gather some basic facts about your house and your neighborhood. This will help you plan your research.

City directories are great tools for finding out who lived at a specific address in the past. Historical Portland city directories contain listings for people and businesses that were within Portland city limits when the directory was published.
