What is Marlene Village?
Marlene Village is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's not officially a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's part of a larger county, and the county government helps manage things like roads and services for the area.
How Marlene Village Started
Marlene Village began to be built in early 1949. It was planned as a place with 400 "low-cost residential development" homes, meaning they were affordable for many families. The community was named after Marlene Schnitzer, who was the baby granddaughter of the project's developer, Harry Mittleman. He was a developer from Portland, Oregon. The very first group of 50 homes was ready for sale in August 1949.
Today, important services like fire protection and emergency medical help for Marlene Village are provided by Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue.
