Johnson City, near Gladstone, was incorporated by a 49-to-l0 vote on June 16, 1970. At the time of the election, it had the distinction of being owned entirely by one man, Delbert Johnson. Johnson started the development as a trailer court in 1959 and tried without success to have the 45-acre area annexed to Gladstone in 1968. The 1969 Oregon legislature established a boundary review board to prevent a proliferation of small in incorporated cities, but the proponents had filed for an election before the effective ate of the law. For further details, see the Oregon Journal, June 11, 1970, and the Oregonian, June 17, 1970.
