[edit] Name
I was told I think by my Grandpa who has lived in Aloha for a very long time that the reason it is called "A-low-wa" is because it was the name of a village of the Tualitin indians. There are many places that are the same as or similar to the Native American originals so this doesn't sound far fetched to me. According to Univ. of Oregon: the Kalapuyans The Grand Ronde Reservation is where Kalapuya indians including Tualitin indians would have most likely relocated. Since there is debate even in the article about where the name came from it seems important to try to find out. Pacific_University seems like a good place to try since it was originally a school for Native Americans predating the state of Oregon, and the city of Aloha. The Washington county museum, and Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon both seem like good places to find information about what communities existed before white settlers came to the region.
- Pacific does predate the state/community, but it was originally a school for orphins and not Native Americans. Aboutmovies 15:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Source for intro statement (affordable, etc.)
Seems to be an ad for a real estate website, and the info should probably be removed:

[edit] Inaccurate
Aloha high school was not started in 1965. The high school started in 1969 and moved to it's current location in 1970. This is inaccurate.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.207.7 (talk • contribs) 09:34, December 1, 2007
