Dodson, Oregon

Dodson is an unincorporated community in Multnomah County, Oregon, United States.

[3][4] Dodson station was moved several times and was once located near present-day Warrendale.

[5] Author Ralph Friedman says Dodson is a "hamlet that time and tracks have passed by".

[7][10] In February 1996, a series of massive debris flows, resulting from the same severe weather that caused flooding in the Willamette Valley, occurred between Dodson and Warrendale, destroying homes and blocking the railroad and I-84 for several days.

[11][12] A 1.65 acre parcel in the landslide area was bequeathed to the Friends of the Columbia Gorge Land Trust, which hopes to convey the property into public ownership.
