Status
Parts of the Stafford area were proposed to be added to the Portland area's urban growth boundary in 1995.[6] Eventually 830 acres (3.4 km2) were added, but later removed after a court fight that ended in 2001 at the Oregon Court of Appeals.[6] In November 2006, the residents of Stafford voted 344–30 to form a hamlet, the second Oregon community to do so (after Beavercreek).[7]
