Portland, Coastal city in Maine, United States
Portland stretches along the Atlantic coast with its harbor filled with fishing boats, commercial vessels, and recreational watercraft at the southern edge of Maine.
Founded in 1632 as a British fishing and trading settlement, Portland developed into Maine's principal port and commercial center through the colonial period.
The Portland Museum of Art displays a collection of American art, while the Arts District features numerous galleries, studios, and performance spaces.
