Cazadero is an unincorporated historic locale in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States.
[1] Cazadero was a station on the Estacada interurban railway line of the Portland Railway, Light and Power Company (PRL&P) and later Portland Electric Power Company (PEPCO), near where the power plant of the PEPCO-owned Cazadero Dam was located on the Clackamas River.
[2] The station was named by the original promoters of the line, likely after Cazadero, California.
[2] Cazadero is a Spanish word meaning "a place for the pursuit of game".
[2] The interurban service was abandoned in 1933,[5] but the line remained intact and usable for freight service for many more years; for example, an excursion by railfans in an old interurban car covered the line in 1953.
