Hawthorne is well known as a popular shopping district, particularly between [[SE 34th Avenue|SE 34th]] and [[SE 39th Avenue|SE 39th]].
 
Before the 1890s, Hawthorne was named Asylum Avenue because the [[Oregon Hospital for the Insane]] (now Oregon State Hospital) was then situated next to it. After the hospital was removed, Hawthorne was renamed in honor of the hospital's founder, [[James C.Hawthorne]].
