NoPoCo.net's Home Page

NoPoCo came into existence at noon, Pacific Standard Time, on 31 December, 2007.

NoPoCo is a backronym for

• North Portland Communities, or sometimes for
• North Portland Country. There are eagles, salmon, otters, deer and coyote making their living in some corners of North Portland, and some of the web sites on this domain represent the interests of these North Portlanders.

North Portland is a roughly thumb-shaped portion of Portland, Oregon. Its eastern boundary is N Williams Avenue and imaginary lines that extend that avenue northward to the Columbia River at about 2 miles west of PDX airport, and southward to the Willamette River at the Steel Bridge. The Columbia and Willamette Rivers form the other two boundaries. All the rest of Portland is divided into NorthEast, SouthEast, SouthWest, and NorthWest quadrants: North Portland is therefore known as Portland's fifth quadrant.

This web site is a cooperative umbrella that provides several North Portland groups and individuals with an internet presence that they would otherwise find difficult to maintain.
