"Stumptown" is a nickname for Portland, Oregon, coined in a period of phenomenal growth in the city after 1847. Portland was growing so rapidly that the stumps of trees cut down to make way for roads were left until manpower could be spared to remove them. In some areas, the stumps remained for so long that locals painted them white to make them more visible, and used them to cross the street without sinking into the mud. In more modern terms, "Stumptown" is humorously used as Portland's nickname to denote the city's lack of tall skyscrapers, the highest being only 546 feet. Thanks for stumbling on to Stumptown Records and for your sins we promise to deliver only the finest in fractured folk, infectious alt-country noir and Americana. We try to run a a completely green record label. All of our packaging is 100% post consumer waste paper and printed with non-toxic soy inks. All of our merch is sweat shop free and made from organic free trade cotton. Stumptown artists include Mishka Shubaly, Kasey Anderson, Pat MacDonald, Adam Mackintosh and others. Look back here for more information, etc.
