In 1852 Wilson McClendon Tigard, his wife Mary Ann and their young son, John, traveled across the plains from Arkansas on the Oregon Trail. They settled on a Donation Land Claim of 320 acres. The area in which they settled was called East Butte, then later Tigardville. When the name Tigardville became confused with the name Wilsonville, it was shortened to Tigard.
