My grandmother grew up in this area and thought it needed cache in her honor.

St. Johns is a neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, United States located in North Portland on the tip of the peninsula formed by the confluence of the Willamette River and the Columbia River.

St. Johns is named in honor of settler James John, who laid out the original eight block town site in 1865. He reportedly was a recluse, which inspired the population to address him as "Saint" John. The site eventually became a rival to other Willamette River town sites vying to become the Head of Navigation on the upper Willamette. St. Johns was originally a separate incorporated city and was annexed by Portland in 1915.
