History
TriMet began construction of the Westside MAX project in 1994, with the Orenco Station stop opening on September 12, 1998, with the rest of the line. The station’s location helped to spur growth in the area with transit oriented developments for both commercial and residential usage. This includes the 190-acre (0.77 km2) Orenco Station development that opened in September 1997, a year before the MAX station opened.
