History

Stafford was named by George A. Steel, a prominent Portland pioneer, after his hometown of Stafford, Ohio, in the 1860s. The Stafford School opened in the community in 1892, and the following year the Eastside Electric Railway owned by Steel reached the area. In 1895, the Wanker family moved to the area and bought land where they built a store and tavern, an area later to become Wankers Corner at the intersection of Stafford Road and Borland Road. It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names. The two buildings currently located at Wanker’s Corner are the Wanker’s Country Store and the Wanker’s Corner Saloon and Cafe. It is not a recognized community; it has never had a post office, nor does it consistently appear on maps of Oregon (although the AAA map of Oregon shows it in an inset). The United States Geological Survey classifies Wankers Corner as a “locale”: “a place at which there is or was human activity”.
