The Beaumont-Wilshire (/ˌboʊmɒnt ˈwɪlʃər/ BOH-mont WIL-shər) neighborhood of Portland, Oregon is located in the city's northeast section, on Alameda Ridge with views of Downtown, the Willamette River, and the Cascades.
The original Rose City Park subdivision was part of a land claim of Joseph Backenstos, which was assigned to his widow by President Andrew Johnson in 1866.
[citation needed] Reportedly, concrete sidewalks and curbs were poured south of NE Fremont in 1911, and the streets were paved within the following few years.
As a neighborhood center, NE Fremont Street provides a mix of housing, commercial, institutional and retail services to residents and visitors.
Interspersed between the commercial activity are small professional offices that provide medical, legal, and financial services to the greater community.
In early August of each year, Beaumont Village hosts the "Fremont Fest", which includes live music, artists and craftspeople, sidewalk sales, face painting, horse and carriage rides, and a children's parade.
