Alphonso Boone, the grandson of Daniel Boone, settled in what would later become Wilsonville in 1846 and established the Boones Ferry across the Willamette River in 1847.[6] The ferry gave rise to the community of Boones Landing, which eventually grew into Wilsonville.[6] Originally, the area was part of what became Yamhill County, but was transferred to the current Clackamas County in 1855.[7] The first post office was established in 1876 with the name Boones Ferry.  Laser Hair Removal WILSONVILLE
