History




Groner Elementary School


According to Oregon Geographic Names, the community was named after local pioneer Peter Scholl, who took up a donation land claim in 1847. Scholls was once the site of an important ferry (the Scholls Ferry) crossing the Tualatin River between Scholls and nearby Kinton. While the ferry has long since been replaced with a bridge, OR 210 is still known locally as Scholls Ferry Road.


Peter Scholl was a relative of Daniel Boone, probably related through Boone's grandson Alphonso Boone, an Oregon pioneer who built Boones Ferry. A general store has operated in the community since the 1890s, and was purchased by the Petrich family in 1964.[2] The original Petrichs General Store burned down in 1994.[2]


Scholls is in Oregon's wine country, and there are several notable wineries are in the area, including the Ponzi Vineyards and Raptor Ridge Winery, which produce award winning wines such as Pinot gris, Pinot noir and Chardonnay.


"Scholls Ferry" post office was established in 1871, and the name changed to "Scholls" in 1895. Scholls' ZIP Code is 97123.



Campo Azul


Campo Azul was a migrant camp located on a farm near Scholls. The camp, which was founded in the 1970s, was named for the color of the housing units which were on the 133-acre (0.54 km2) farm. Historically farmworkers, and in some cases their children, lived on the farm and worked on surrounding area farms. For many decades, as many as 90 or so adults and children lived at the camp. According to The Oregonian, the camp had initially been considered as a location for the New Thought church Living Enrichment Center.[3] Upon the death of Loraine Boggs, the ownership of the camp was in dispute.[4] Only after various legal negotiations was ownership of the farm settled.[5] The farm was sold in 2004, and by 2009 the new owners began operating a U-pick Pumpkin Patch and a livestock sheep operation. Today, the farm is also a rustic venue for private events and celebrations; and a place for community farming.[6]
