Where is Lewis and Clark College located?”
Lewis & Clark College is a private, independent, liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon, United States. It was chartered as the Albany Collegiate Institute in 1867 in the town of Albany, 65 miles (105 km) south of Portland by Willamette Valley Presbyterian pioneers, and relocated to Portland in 1938. With antecedents dating to 1858, Lewis & Clark is one of four colleges in Oregon (along with Willamette University, Pacific University, and Linfield College) with foundations that predate Oregon’s statehood. The College has been coeducational since the first class, which graduated in 1873. In 1942 the school adopted the name Lewis & Clark College after the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Today, the three schools of the college and their supporting offices occupy a campus of 137 acres (554,000 m²), centered on the M. Lloyd Frank Estate on Palatine Hill in the Collins View neighborhood of Southwest Portland.
