About Portland, Maine
Portland is a city of 68,408 people and the county seat of Cumberland County, set on a peninsula in Casco Bay. The Eastern Abenaki called the peninsula Machigonne, or "great neck." Settlers started a fishing and trading village named Casco there in 1632, and it became Falmouth after the Massachusetts Bay Colony took control of Casco Bay in 1658. The Abenaki destroyed the village in 1676, during King Philip's War, and after it was rebuilt, French troops and their native allies wrecked it again at the Battle of Fort Loyal in 1690.
Disaster came once more on October 18, 1775, when a Royal Navy force under Captain Henry Mowat set Falmouth on fire. After the Revolution, the part of town called The Neck grew quickly as a shipping port, and in 1786 its citizens split off and formed their own town. They named it Portland, for the Isle of Portland off Dorset, England. Portland served as the capital of the new state of Maine from 1820 until 1832, when the capital moved to Augusta.
- Canada's winter seaportThe Grand Trunk Railway to Montreal was finished in 1853, and Portland's harbor, which stayed free of ice, became the main winter outlet for Canadian exports. The Portland Company on Fore Street built more than six hundred steam locomotives and was for a time the city's biggest employer, hiring many immigrants from Canada, Ireland and Italy. After the Grand Trunk was nationalized in 1923, Canadian shipments went to Halifax instead, and Portland's economy fell into a sharp decline.
- The Great Fire of 1866On July 4, 1866, a fire broke out in the middle of the Independence Day celebration. It burned most of the city's commercial buildings, half of its churches and hundreds of homes, and more than 10,000 people lost their homes. Portland rebuilt, and its city seal shows a phoenix rising from the ashes, a nod to the city's comeback from four ruinous fires.
- Deering joins the cityOn March 8, 1899, an act of the Maine Legislature made the neighboring city of Deering part of Portland, even though Deering's own voters had turned the idea down. The merger made Portland far larger and opened land off the peninsula for building. Deering High School, once that city's public high school, now belongs to Portland.
- The Old Port comes backThe Maine Mall, an indoor shopping center, opened in South Portland in 1971 and drew business away from downtown Portland. The slump turned around when tourists and new businesses moved into the old seaport, where one section, known locally as the Old Port, kept its cobblestone streets and old warehouses.
