Scholls, Oregon is an unincorporated community in Washington County, Oregon, United States. It is located along the southern shore of the Tualatin River, near the intersection of Oregon Routes 210 and 219. Scholls is located approximately seven miles north of Newberg, seven miles west of Tigard, and eight miles south of Hillsboro. The area around Scholls is primarily agricultural.
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]
