When you are very old perhaps you will be cited as the only living authority on East Vanport by VOICES OF VANPORT.

 East Vanport was built in 1943 and consisted of 484 housing units, mostly rowhouses. Far smaller than Vanport, East Vanport had its own fire station, laundries, a public library, community halls, and a commercial facility. But, it lacked amenities such as a movie theater and post office that Vanport had. Although the map does not show an elementary school, Hershel Parker recalls walking as a fourth grader from his East Vanport home to a neighborhood school.
