Our City's History

An Historic Perspective 

This taped interview of Battle Ground’s first 5 Mayors was produced in 1977 for Portland’s Channel-2 Options program.  The City had just marked its 25^th anniversary in 1976. It is a valuable record of the opportunities and challenges that faced our growing city and the elected officials who provided leadership during that time.  

The host and interviewer, Doug Hamilton, resided just outside the city near Lewisville Park.   

We thank and recognize the Battle Ground Greater Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) for having the foresight to purchase the video tape ($20.50 in 1977) in order to share it with the community.
