}}Aloha ({{IPAc-en|ə|ˈ|l|oʊ|.|ə}}, not {{IPAc-en|ə|ˈ|l|oʊ|h|ɑː}}) is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Washington County, Oregon, United States. By road it is {{convert|10.9|mi}} west of downtown Portland.[3] As of the 2010 Census, the population was 49,425.[4] Fire protection and EMS services are provided through Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue.[5]

History

On January 9, 1912, the community received its name with the opening of a post office named Aloha; the area had previously been known as Wheeler Crossing.[6] According to Oregon Geographic Names, the origin of the name Aloha is disputed. Some sources say it was named by Robert Caples, a railroad worker, but it is unknown why the name was chosen. In 1983 Joseph H. Buck claimed that his uncle, the first postmaster, Julius Buck, named the office "Aloah" after a small resort on Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin. Supposedly the last two letters were transposed by the Post Office during the application process. The local pronunciation, however, has remained Ah-LO-wa rather than Ah-LO-ha.

The community attempted to incorporate in 1984, but the regional boundary commission halted the effort after determining the community could not provide the needed municipal services of a city.[7]

In 2012, a public library was opened in space within a strip mall shopping center on Farmington Road at Kinnaman Road (anchored by Bales Thriftway). Named the Aloha Community Library, it was established by the non-profit Aloha Community Library Association and is staffed by volunteers. At the time of its opening, it had about 4,500 books.[8]

Geography
