Editing Clackamas County, Oregon (section)

==Government and politics==
===Incorporated communities===
Clackamas County is the first county in Oregon to have four models of governance for its communities. Like the rest of Oregon, it has cities (which are formally [[Incorporation (municipal government)|incorporated]]) and rural communities (some of which for federal purposes are considered [[census-designated place]]s).

After the completion of a process that began in late 1999, the county adopted an [[Law|ordinance]] on August 11, 2005, which defined [[Hamlet (Oregon)|hamlets]] and [[Village (Oregon)|villages]]. By the November 30, 2005, deadline, three communities had submitted [[petition]]s to be designated as such. [[Boring, Oregon|Boring]] petitioned to become a village, but the application was rejected in a town hall [[referendum]] in August 2006. The communities along [[U.S. Route 26]] near Mount Hood from [[Brightwood, Oregon|Brightwood]] to [[Rhododendron, Oregon|Rhododendron]] petitioned to become "[[Mount Hood Village, Oregon|The Villages at Mount Hood]]", and it was approved by residents in May 2006. [[Beavercreek, Oregon|Beavercreek]] petitioned to become a hamlet, and was recognized as such in September 2006.
