**Middleton**, previously known as **Stringtown**, is an [unincorporated community](/source/Unincorporated_area) in [Washington County](/source/Washington_County,_Oregon), [Oregon](/source/Oregon), United States.[1][2] To improve communication between [Portland](/source/Portland,_Oregon) and [Lafayette](/source/Lafayette,_Oregon), a post office was established at Middleton in 1869. A rail station was then established on July 1, 1892, soon before the post office closed, in 1905.[2] A November 2011 vote for the annexation of portions of Middleton north of Brookman Road by the neighboring incorporated community of [Sherwood](/source/Sherwood,_Oregon) failed.
