Portland, whose metro area is home to one quarter of the state’s total population, is the largest city in Maine. It is located on a peninsula that juts out into the island studded Casco Bay. Portland is nestled between Maine’s forest covered mountains and the spectacular rugged coast.

Portland was originally called Machingonne – Great Neck – by the Native Americans as well as Casco. In 1632 George Cleeve settled what is now Portland and the settlement was known as Falmouth. Portland served as Maine’s capital from 1820-1832. In 1866 a great fire destroyed much of Portland. Today the city seal is a phoenix rising out of ashes, the mythical bird aptly symbolizes Portland’s legendary rebirth after the great fire that leveled the city for the fourth time.

Portland was recently named the #1 place in the country to raise children. It possesses scenic beauty, succulent lobster, splendid recreational opportunities and a wealth of historic and cultural activities.
