About Portland
Portland is Maine's largest city, a working harbour on Casco Bay with a cobbled old port, a lighthouse and a celebrated food scene.
Portland sits on a hilly peninsula in Casco Bay, a working harbour with fishing boats, ferries and a historic district, the Old Port, of brick warehouses and cobbled streets. The Portland Observatory, a shingled signal tower of 1807, is the last of its kind in the country, and the Victoria Mansion is a richly decorated Italianate house of the 1860s. The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born here in 1807.
