West Haven-Sylvan is a census-designated place (CDP) in Washington and Multnomah counties, Oregon, United States, north of U.S. Route 26. As of the 2020 census, the CDP population was 9,299.

History

[edit]

In 1850, Nathan B. Jones, a pioneer of 1847, settled at the head of Tanner Creek and platted lots for a community he called "Zion Town".[5] It is unknown if he named the place for Mount Zion, a summit located about a mile to the southeast.[5] Because the name "Zion" for a local post office would have caused confusion, as there had already been two post offices so-named in Oregon, a resident suggested the name "Sylvan", from the Roman deity of the woods Silvanus.[5] The office was established in 1890 and it closed in 1906.[5] Jones, who was considered an eccentric hermit, had wanted Zion Town to become the new capitol of Oregon.[5] He was murdered during the course of a robbery in 1894.[5] Sylvan post office was located at what today is the interchange of Sunset Highway, Scholls Ferry Road and Skyline Boulevard within the Portland city limits in Multnomah County.[6]
