Milwaukie (IPA: [mɪl wɔ ki]) is a city in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States. Known as the Dogwood City of the West, it was founded in 1847 as a rival to upriver Oregon City by Lot Whitcomb, who named it for Milwaukie, Wisconsin (later spelled Milwaukee). The population was 20,490 at the 2000 census. The 2006 estimate is 20,835 residents.[1] The city was incorporated in 1903 and is noted as the birthplace of the Bing cherry.
