Description
Portland is located on a peninsula in Casco Bay on the Southern Maine coast, approximately 100 miles north of Boston, MA.
Renewed interest in exporting, the prominent fishing industry and the redevelopment of Portland's working waterfront have revitalized the metropolitan center. With constant attention to landmark preservation, Portland has successfully incorporated the character of the past into a modern urban environment.
With more than 65,000 inhabitants, Portland is the largest city in Maine, while the urban area has a population of over 200,000. The greater Portland metropolitan area is home to over half a million people, more than one-third of Maine's total population.
Portland is a small seaside city with a high concentration of shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, tours and many things to see and do. Many people commute to Portland to work, and the city's population significantly increases in the summertime. Tourists visit Portland's historic Old Port district along Portland Harbor, at the mouth of the Fore River and part of Casco Bay, and the Arts District, which runs along Congress Street in the center of the City.
