Hillsboro Business @ 50+ Years
Updated: Sep 9, 2021
Using several old phone books I came up with this list of Hillsboro businesses that have survived more than 50 years. There aren't many left which is why it was sad to see the Hiltop Bakery closed last week.
Update: Since I posted this list in June / 2017 the businesses that have closed since then are highlighted in yellow.
