Renting an Apartment in King City
What You Should Know
King City is a city in Washington County, Oregon, United States. Its name was
picked arbitrarily by the Tualatin Development Company, Inc., which used a
royalty theme in naming the city streets. The population was 1,949 at the 2000
census.
Created as a planned adult community, King City was incorporated in March of
1966. The city's legal restrictions which forbid minors from living within its
city limits for more than a short time have since been subjected to increasing
criticism.
Due to controversy in the annexation by the City of Tigard of the Bull Mountain
area directly north of King City, a proposal for King City to annex the area
instead was made. Since the population and size of Bull Mountain is
significantly large (about 5,600 registered voters), compared with King City,
this would be a noteworthy change in King City.
As of the census of 2000, there were 1,949 people, 1,389 households, and 480
families residing in the city. The population density was 1,791.7/km
