Guild's Lake (also Guild Lake) was a flood-prone lowland near the confluence of Balch Creek with the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon. Indigenous Multnomah people established villages on nearby Sauvie Island but not in the swampy area along the Balch Creek side of the river in what later became northwest Portland. The lake was at an elevation of 33 feet (10 m) above sea level between what later became Northwest Saint Helens Road and Northwest Yeon Street, slightly west of Northwest 35th Avenue in the Northwest Industrial district of Portland.

  • Guild's Lake (also Guild Lake) was a flood-prone lowland near the confluence of Balch Creek with the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon. Indigenous Multnomah people established villages on nearby Sauvie Island but not in the swampy area along the Balch Creek side of the river in what later became northwest Portland. The lake was at an elevation of 33 feet (10 m) above sea level between what later became Northwest Saint Helens Road and Northwest Yeon Street, slightly west of Northwest 35th Avenue in the Northwest Industrial district of Portland. The lake took its name from Peter Guild (pronounced guile), one of the first 19th-century settlers in the area. In 1847, he acquired nearly 600 acres (2.4 km2) of the wetlands through a donation land claim. After Guild's death in 1870, various landowners modified the area to accommodate sawmills, railroads, shipping docks, and Portland's city garbage incinerator. The Guild's Lake Rail Yard, built by the Northern Pacific Railway in the 1880s, became an important switching yard for trains. Beginning in the 1890s, channel-deepening in the Willamette River improved the city's status as a deep-water seaport, as did completion in 1914 of a port terminal. These developments helped make nearby Guild's Lake the most important industrial area in Portland. In 1905, the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, held on an artificial island in Guild's Lake, had helped spur growth in the area. After the exposition ended, developers filled the lake and its surrounds with rocks and gravel sluiced from parts of the Balch Creek watershed in the West Hills above the floodplain or dredged from the Willamette River. Civic leaders promoted the Guild's Lake area as a good place for industry, and by the mid-1920s the lake was gone. Instead, it became "a drying and settling mud flat ... awaiting development during World War II". During World War II, the Guild's Lake Housing Project, an adjunct to the Vanport project, provided temporary housing for workers in the nearby Kaiser Shipyards. After the war, chemical and petroleum processing and storage, metals manufacturing, and other large industries expanded in the area. In 2001, the Portland City Council adopted the Guild's Lake Industrial Sanctuary Plan aimed at protecting the area's "long-term economic viability as an industrial district." (en)
  • O lago de Guild ( ou simplesmente lago Guild) era uma planície sujeita a inundações perto da confluência de Balch Creek com o rio Willamette, no estado americano de Oregon . O povo indígena Multnomah estabeleceu vilas nas proximidades da Ilha Sauvie, mas não na área pantanosa ao longo do rio Balch Creek, no que mais tarde se tornou o noroeste de Portland . O lago estava a uma altitude de 10 m acima do nível do mar entre o que mais tarde se tornou a Northwest Saint Helens Road e a Northwest Yeon Street, no distrito industrial do noroeste de Portland. O lago recebeu o nome de Peter Guild, um dos colonos pioneiros do século 19 na área. Em 1847, ele adquiriu quase 600 acres (2.4 km2) das zonas húmidas através de uma reivindicação de terra de doação . Após a morte de Guild em 1870, inúmeros proprietários de terras modificaram a área para acomodar serrarias, ferrovias, docas de embarque e o incinerador de lixo da cidade de Portland. O Guild’s lake Rail Yard, construído pela Northern Pacific Railway na década de 1880, tornou-se um importante pátio de troca de trens. Começando na década de 1890, o aprofundamento do canal no rio Willamette aumentou o status da cidade como um porto de águas profundas. Esses desenvolvimentos ajudaram a fazer do Guild’s lake, nas proximidades, a área industrial mais importante de Portland. Em 1905, a Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, realizada em uma ilha artificial no Guild's Lake, ajudou a estimular o crescimento na área. Após a exposição, os desenvolvedores encheram o lago e seus arredores com pedras e cascalho drenado de partes da bacia hidrográfica de Balch Creek nas colinas oeste acima da planície de inundação ou dragado do rio Willamette. Os líderes cívicos promoveram a área do lago Guild como um excelente local para a indústria, porém em meados da década de 1920 o lago havia sumido. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, o Projeto de Habitação do lago Guild um complemento do projeto de Vanport, forneceu habitação temporária para os trabalhadores nos estaleiros Kaiser . Após a guerra, o processamento e armazenamento de produtos químicos e de petróleo, a fabricação de metais e outras grandes indústrias se expandiram na área. Em 2001, o Conselho Municipal de Portland adotou o Plano do Santuário Industrial do Guild’s lake, que visa proteger a "viabilidade econômica de longo prazo como distrito industrial". * (pt)
