About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The early Multnomah County Poor Farm and Cemetery was located off Canyon Road in the area where the Oregon Zoo - World Forestry Center - Hoyt Arboretum are now located in south-west Portland. There were two or three graveyards located in this area where paupers and unknown persons were buried. The county poor farm was moved to Troutdale after the property off Canyon Road was sold in 1910. The burial sites were all but forgotten. Some burials were moved to Lone Fir in 1961 when the zoo was built. Some burials continue to be discovered when construction projects unearth them. There are otherwise NO known/marked graves in this area. Sources of the names added to this cemetery include the Admissions records for the County Hospital/Poor Farm, newspaper clippings, and death certificates.
