About Portal

Portal is a city in Burke County, North Dakota, United States. The 2020 census counted 125 residents. Portal was founded in 1893. Portal sits along the Canadian border and is a major port of entry border crossing for road and rail traffic. Because Portal is in the Bakken Oil Field region, the cost of living has risen considerably in recent years. The through line in Portal is the way its history and present-day settings remain visible on the same map. Portal makes the most sense through those concrete details, with its history still visible in the settings people use today. North Portal, Saskatchewan is just over the border north of Portal and adjacent to it.
