Cully is a neighborhood in the Northeast section of Portland, Oregon. The neighborhood, as well as NE Cully Blvd. that runs diagonally through it, is named after English stonemason Thomas Cully (1810–1891), an early settler.[1] Cully borders Sunderland, Concordia, and Beaumont-Wilshire on the east, Portland International Airport on the north, Sumner on the east, and Rose City Park and Roseway on the south.
Neighborhood parks include Sacajawea Park (1985), Wellington Park (1941), Rigler Community Garden (2004), and Whitaker Ponds Natural Area (1998). Nevertheless, Cully has the smallest amount of parkland per capita, and largest population living more than one-half mile from a park, of any Portland neighborhood.[2]
Rose City Cemetery (formerly the Japanese Cemetery[3]) occupies the southwest corner of the neighborhood.
