About Bull Mountain, Oregon
Bull Mountain is an area of unincorporated Washington County (partially annexed into Tigard) rising to over 700 feet just southwest of downtown Tigard. Known for its panoramic views of the Chehalem Mountains, Mount Hood on clear days, and the Tualatin River Valley, Bull Mountain combines suburban comfort with a distinctly rural feel.
History of Bull Mountain
Bull Mountain gets its name from livestock that once grazed its slopes when the area was mostly farmland and timber. Development began in the 1970s and accelerated through the 1990s, with Tigard annexing portions of the hillside to expand its city limits. Much of Bull Mountain remains unincorporated, leading to ongoing local governance debates.
