Where is 'Lewis & Clark College' located?

'Lewis & Clark College' is a private liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon. Originally chartered in 1867 as the Albany Collegiate Institute in Albany, Oregon, the college was relocated to Portland in 1938 and in 1942 adopted the name 'Lewis & Clark College' after the 'Lewis and Clark Expedition'.

'The Lewis and Clark Expedition' (1804 to 1806), also known as the 'Corps of Discovery Expedition', was the first American expedition to cross the western portion of the United States. It began in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, made its way westward, and passed through the Continental Divide of the Americas to reach the Pacific coast in and around Oregon.

Like many modern universities, the institution that would eventually become 'Lewis & Clark' was initially intended to provide secondary as well as higher education for a specific religious community, in this case Presbyterian pioneers in Oregon's Willamette Valley.

Just over 2,000 students attend the undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences, with a student body from more than 50 countries across six continents as well as most U.S. states.

The 'School of Law' is best known for its environmental law program, while the 'Graduate School of Education & Counseling' is active in community engagement and social justice.

'Lewis & Clark's' 137-acre (0.55 km2) forested campus sits atop Palatine Hill in the neighborhood of Portland and is contiguous with the 645-acre (2.61 km2) 'Tryon Creek State Natural Area'.
