Market Road 441
BROADMEAD ROAD - dating to 1858 - Begins on the Amity-Bellevue Highway three miles southwest of Amity and runs into Polk County. The name is of Scottish origin. Mead is the Anglo-Saxon word for meadow; therefore, Broadmead means Broadmeadow. The community of Broadmead had a post office between 1915 and 1942. W.S. Ladd and Simeon Reed, Portland capitalists, acquired farms in this area in the 1870's. They named their farms Broadmead.
