Eliot is a neighborhood in the North and Northeast sections of Portland, Oregon. It is approximately bounded by the Willamette River on the west, Interstate 405 and the Kerby Avenue approach to the Fremont Bridge on the northwest, NE Fremont Street on the north, NE 7th Avenue on the east, and NE/N Broadway on the south.
The neighborhood contains the old center of the former City of Albina before it was annexed by Portland in the late 19th century. Eliot was named in honor of Rev. Thomas L. Eliot, a pioneer minister.[http://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/eliot_thomas_lamb_1841_1936_/ Oregon Encyclopedia][http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?action=ViewPark&PropertyID=1205] Boise-Eliot Community Garden, Portland Parks & Recreation

Legacy Emanuel Medical Center is one of only two Level I trauma centers in Oregon. It was founded in 1912 as Emanuel Hospital by the First Immanuel Lutheran Church of Portland. During the hospital's 1972 expansion, 300 homes and businesses were razed, displacing Black families that had lived in the area since the founding of Albina. Those families and their descendants formed the Emanuel Displaced Persons Association and its successor organization, EDPA2.{{Cite journal |last1=Kane |first1=Ariel |last2=Carlsen |first2=Aubrey |last3=Greenslade |first3=Stephen |last4=Thaddaeus |first4=Jude |last5=Mettler |first5=Zachary |date=2021-04-01 |title=Reclamation Towards the Futurity of Central Albina |url=https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/usp_murp/181 |journal=Master of Urban and Regional Planning Workshop Projects}}
