When City Council officially adopted the nickname "The Dogwood City of the West" in 1962, Milwaukie had been home to the world’s largest Pacific dogwood tree (cornus nutallii) for many years. That famous tree - the oldest and largest - stood near the corner of 32^nd Avenue and Harrison Street; across from where the city’s Public Safety Building stands today. Unfortunately, the tree was damaged during the infamous Columbus Day storm of 1962 and within ten years had to be removed due to disease.
