===Company headquarters===
[[Reser's Fine Foods]], processor and distributor of freshly prepared foods, has headquartered in Beaverton since 1960. [[Leupold & Stevens]], maker of rifle scopes and other specialty optics, has been located on property adjacent to the City of Beaverton since 1968. The Beaverton City Council annexed that property in May 2005, and Leupold & Stevens challenged that annexation. The company eventually won the legal fight in 2009 with the city, thus the company was de-annexed from the city.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/washingtoncounty/index.ssf/2009/04/beaverton_drops_annexation_fig.html|title=Beaverton drops annexation fight|last=Schmidt|first=Brad|date=April 8, 2009|work=The Oregonian|access-date=April 10, 2009|archive-url=https://archive.today/20090412085505/http://www.oregonlive.com/washingtoncounty/index.ssf/2009/04/beaverton_drops_annexation_fig.html|archive-date=April 12, 2009|url-status=live}}</ref> [[R.M.
