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.
