Hosford-Abernethy is a neighborhood in the inner Southeast section of Portland, Oregon. It borders Buckman and Sunnyside on the north, Richmond on the east, Brooklyn and Creston-Kenilworth on the south, and (across the Willamette River) Downtown Portland and South Portland on the west.
Hosford-Abernethy was named in the 1970s for two schools in the neighborhood, Hosford Middle School[1] (commemorating early Portland resident and Methodist minister Chauncey Hosford) and Abernethy Elementary School[2] (commemorating fellow Methodist minister and Provisional Governor of the Oregon Territory, George Abernethy).
The north central area of the neighborhood, with its distinctive X-shaped street pattern, is known as Ladd's Addition.
The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry is located on the riverfront of Hosford-Abernethy, at the southern end of the Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade.
