City of Damascus

Damascus is a very special place entering a period of transformation from a more rural community into a more urban city. Nestled within buttes, adorned with evergreens and stunning views of Mt. Hood and the Clackamas River, Damascus offers venues for year-round outdoor recreational opportunities and community gatherings. November 2, 2014 marks Damascus 10-year anniversary as an incorporated city. The City embraces its mission to work alongside its citizens to provide a complete community where people can live, work, shop, play and learn. The Damascus City Council and staff continue to work closely with the citizens of Damascus and regional partners to develop a city following sustainable development practices which protect the wealth of natural resources and nurtures a viable visitor friendly community while defending the property rights of its citizens
