  • I live close – in Sherwood. But I know nothing about it. Gonna do some digging.

  • It is a pretty spread out farming community. Lots of acreage, homes are well kept, some new, expensive ones, here and there. The folks there keep an eye out for visitors. The one residence that I visited had three generations represented and were very friendly and accommodating. I was sent there to locate some underground utilities (for USIC).
    (It is suspected that I was dispatched there, since my name is Jack and this area is outside of my jurisdiction)

  • Henry Jack, born 1880 toM/M Calvin Jack, at Farmington. Town was named after the pioneer Jack family, which came to Oregon in 1863.

  • I lived in jacktown in the sixties. Our family was the Rennies and the lathrops were our neighbors. The jacktown sign said entering jacktown and on the other side it said leaving jacktown on the other.lol We had a chicken farm in jacktown about 2 miles from twin oaks tavern on the tualitin. I loved our home it was one level brick home with a big round window in front. I haven’t been back in over 50 years. I would say there were probably about 6 families in jacktown on Farmington rd.

  • I lived jacktown in the 60s. Entering jacktown on one side and leaving jacktown on the other.
