Parkrose is a neighborhood in the Northeast section of Portland, Oregon. The Parkrose plat was filed October 5, 1911. A branch post office of Portland was established there in 1921. Parkrose had been a small farming and residential suburb of Portland until the 1920s. The Oregon Journal noted on May 23, 1925, "Parkrose is a primary commuting center. . . . It is one of the most progressive and promising commuting districts on the eastern border of the city." Parkrose was annexed by Portland, and the community was enumerated as a "Census-designated place" in 1980, when the community recorded a population of 21,108. There is also a Parkrose School District.
