According to Oregon Geographic Names, the community was named after a gristmillflour mill erected there in 1851, when the community was known as "Howards Mill". "Mulino" is a corruption of the Spanish languageSpanish word molino, or mill, and was chosen for the name when postal authorities objected that "Molino" was easily confused with nearby Molalla. The Mulino post office was established in 1882. As of 2003, the mill building, remodeled into a private residence, still stands. Oregon Geographic Names says it is probably one of the oldest industrial buildings to remain standing in Oregon. The mill, listed as Howard's Gristmill, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/OR/Clackamas/state.html Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulino%2C_Oregon
