History [edit]

The Oregon Zoo was founded in 1888,^[v] making information technology the oldest North American zoo westward of the Mississippi.^[7] It all began with two bears purchased by Richard Knight – 1 dark-brown bear and one grizzly.^{[nine] [x]} A former seaman turned chemist, Knight began collecting animals from his seafaring friends. He kept his drove in the back of his drug store on Third & Morrison streets. When caring for the animals became besides big a responsibility he sought to sell them to the urban center of Portland. Instead of buying the animals, the city offered to give Knight two circus cages and allowed him to place the caged bears on the grounds of City Park (now called Washington Park).^[9]

Care and feeding of the bears, however, however fell to the Knight family unit and friends. It was not long before Knight addressed the metropolis council again regarding the bears. Just v months afterward, he offered to donate the bears, forth with their cages, to the metropolis. Portland City Council accustomed his offer^[9] on Nov 7, 1888, and thus began the Portland Zoo.^[v] Located in Washington Park, information technology was sometimes referred to as the Washington Park Zoo.^{[11] [12]}

By 1894, there were over 300 animals in the zoo'southward collection. In 1925, the zoo moved to the site of the nowadays Portland Japanese Garden, still inside Washington Park.

The zoo moved once more in 1958–59 to its current site, designed by Lawrence, Tucker & Wallmann.^[13] This was located in Hoyt Park, westward of Washington Park,^[fourteen] but some years after the two parks were combined every bit Washington Park. At this time, the Portland Zoo Railway was synthetic to connect the zoo to its onetime site in Washington Park and other attractions there. The zoo's move to the new, much larger site was made in stages, over more a yr, with the first animals being moved in spring 1958 and limited public access being opened in June 1958, one day later the commencement department of the Zoo Railway opened.^[fifteen] During the transition period the new zoo was only open on weekends, as about animals were still at the old site awaiting completion of their new enclosures.^[16] However, the new railway operated six days a week until mid-September. Meanwhile, the onetime zoo remained in operation, but in May 1959 was restricted to pedestrian access merely, closed to automobile access, for its final months of functioning.^[17]

The zoo at its current site opened on July three, 1959.^[18] It was renamed the Portland Zoological Gardens at that fourth dimension,^[5] but remained commonly known every bit the Portland Zoo. The elephants and big cats were not moved to the new zoo until November.^{[19] [20]} A new interchange was constructed on the side by side freeway, the Sunset Highway, for better access to the new zoo.^[21]

The zoo became popular locally in 1953, when Rosy the Asian elephant was acquired. The zoo became world-famous in 1962 when the Asian elephant "Packy" was built-in. He was the outset elephant born in the Western Hemisphere in 44 years and was (every bit of 2010) the tallest Asian elephant in the United States at x.five ft (iii.2 m) tall. A total of 28 more than calves have been born at the Oregon Zoo, including seven sired by Packy (two of which, Smoothen and Rama, remained at the zoo), making it the most successful zoo elephant breeding plan in the world. On August 23, 2008, Rose-Tu, the granddaughter of the zoo'due south starting time elephant Rosy, gave birth to a son named Samudra. The birth fabricated Samudra the first third-generation convict-born elephant in Due north America.^[22]

Attendance in 1962, the year in which Packy was born, was 1.2 meg people.^[23] Over the next several years, the number of animals declined, from 450 (representing 150 species) in 1962 to 386 (representing 123 species) in 1976, and annual attendance as well failing over the same period, reaching its lowest point in 1975, with 448,198 visitors.^[23]

Until 1971, the zoo was operated by the City, and then by the Portland Zoological Society nether contract to the Metropolis.^{[v] [24] [25]} In 1976, area voters approved a tax levy plan under which the zoo was taken over past the Metropolitan Service District (or MSD, at present known equally Metro).^[26] Ownership of the zoo passed to Metro on July i, 1976. Metro has connected expansion projects, aided by donors, sponsors and volunteers.^[5]

Later in 1976, MSD renamed the zoo the Washington Park Zoo ^[v] afterwards a naming contest.^[12] The railway was renamed the Washington Park and Zoo Railway two years later.

Veterinary Medical Center completed in 2014

The reject in attendance seen in the 1960s and 1970s somewhen began to reverse, and the zoo recorded 752,632 visitors in 1984 and 897,189 in 1986.^[27]

The Metro Council changed the zoo'southward name from the Washington Park Zoo to the Oregon Zoo in April 1998.^[6] In September of that year, the zoo became attainable by the region's MAX light rail system, with the opening of a Westside MAX line featuring an undercover Washington Park station.^[28] In 2003, the zoo began participation in a California condor recovery program started by San Diego Wild Animal Park and Los Angeles Zoo. The plan is designed to brood California condors to be released into the wild and save them from extinction.^[29]

In November 2008, regional voters canonical a $125 million bond mensurate to amend infrastructure, enhance older exhibits and increase access to conservation education and the degree of sustainability.^[30] Omnipresence at the zoo reached a record 1.six one thousand thousand visitors for their 2008 to 2009 year.^[31] The record was due in role to the nascence of some other babe elephant.^[31] A new tape was set the following year with i,612,359 people visiting the zoo.^[32] The zoo again brought in more than 1.6 million visitors in 2016.^[2]

On Feb 9, 2017, Oregon Zoo staff decided to euthanize Packy subsequently a long struggle with drug-resistant tuberculosis. He was laid to balance at an unidentified city-owned "wooded, grassy surface area" that is not open to the public.^[33] At the fourth dimension of his death, Packy was 54 years sometime.
