History
Wheeler was named for Ira Wheeler, an early inhabitant of the area, who owned land on and around Kinnaman Road and 185th Avenue. In 1893, the Wheeler Subdivision was platted. Trains started stopping in Wheeler in 1907, and a station was established on October 31 1907. A school district was established in 1911.
On January 9, 1912, the post office would open, under the name Aloha. The community had first been called by that name as early as December 7, 1911, when The Hillsboro Argus reported the change of the name. According to Oregon Geographic Names, the origin of the name Aloha is disputed. Some sources say it was named by Robert Caples, a railroad worker, but it is unknown why the name was chosen. In 1983 Joseph H. Buck claimed that his uncle, the first postmaster, Julius Buck, named the office "Aloah" after a small resort on Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin. Supposedly the last two letters were transposed by the Post Office during the application process. The local pronunciation, however, has remained rather than . A similar story is reported as early as 1949, in The Beaverton Enterprise.
Beginning in 1907, the area would be the site of the Beaverton-Reedville Acreage, a large suburban development by the Shaw-Fear Company. Much of the area around Aloha still follows the layout of this development.
