Венерсборг: Тарихы мен демографиялық сипаттамасы

Venersborg is a census designated place (CDP) in Clark County, Washington, United States. The population was 3,990 at the 2020 census.

The community was established as "Venner's Villas" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when a land entrepreneur, J. C. Lanerberg, purchased land from various sources including the government, railroad companies, and other landowners. He divided the land into lots. To market the area, Lanerberg produced pamphlets written in Swedish that highlighted its resemblance to rural Sweden. The flyers were concentrated in large, urban communities throughout the United States and the first settlers who arrived in the early 1900s were mostly of Swedish ancestry. The growth of nearby Vancouver and Portland led to an influx of new residents in the 1960s. The land was originally heavily timbered. A number of farms and orchards were established in the early 20th century, some of which have existed into the 3rd millennium that grow rare, heirloom apple varieties. The community is considered rural and the town supports three non residential buildings. A single commercial establishment, the Venersborg Store, reopened in 2008 but closed in 2013.
