Watts School
Description
Photograph of the Watts School in 1912. The school building later became a community club building [see WCMpic_015475 for this building in 1953]. The Watts School is west of Forest Grove, Oregon, near the intersection of NW Gales Creek Rd and NW Stringtown Rd. The school is named after James Grant Watts, who helped to draft a city charter for Scappoose, a town just north of Washington County's border with Columbia County. His great-grandfather William Watts settled on a Donation Land Claim in Scappoose in 1852, making the Watts family one of the first European families to settle in the area.
