==History== In 1926, Columbia Realty purchased the triangular plot of land on which Maywood Park stands. The parcel was later purchased by Commonwealth Inc., which made plans to create a subdivision modeled after the Laurelhurst and Eastmoreland neighborhoods of Portland. Although the Great Depression delayed development of the land, construction was largely completed by 1943 with about 400 homes. Maywood Park was so large it crossed over where I-205 is today. In 1967, the residents of Maywood Park voted to incorporate as a city in an attempt to prevent Interstate 205 from cutting through the neighborhood. Although the effort was ultimately unsuccessful, resulting in the loss of 82 homes on the west side, Maywood Park was able to gain noise reduction concessions from the construction of I-205. Specifically, I-205 is built below grade as it passes by Maywood Park, and a [[noise barrier|sound wall]] and [[green belt]] provide further noise reduction.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Joner|first1=Cami|title=Maywood Park citizens get involved|url=http://midcountymemo.com/jan06_maywood.html|website=Mid-County Memo|accessdate=June 29, 2016}}</ref>
