D
amascus is a very special place
entering a period of transformation
fromamore rural community intoamore
developed area. Nestled within buttes,
adorned with evergreens and stunning
views of Mt. Hood and the Clackamas
River, Damascus offers venues for year-
round outdoor recreational opportuni-
ties and community gatherings.
November 2, 2013 marks Damascus’
9-year anniversary as an incorporated
city. The City embraces its mission to
work alongside its citizens to provide
a complete community where people
can live, work, shop, play and learn.
The Damascus City Council and staff
continue to work closely with the citi-
zens of Damascus and regional part-
ners to develop a city following sus-
tainable development practices which
protect the wealth of natural resources
and nurtures a viable visitor friendly
community while defending the prop-
erty rights of its citizens.
Visitors from around the world are
attracted to the sheer beauty of this
quaint community nestled in forest-
ed buttes and enriched with farm-
lands, nurseries and home based
businesses. Exceptional views of Mt.
Hood greet visitors as they travel
eastbound through Damascus. To
the southwest travelers and residents
alike enjoy the Clackamas River, re-
nowned for its salmon and steelhead
fishing and great rafting opportuni-
ties. Visitors will experience a wel-
coming, friendly atmosphere as they
patronize our local shops, businesses
and restaurants.
