Portland, ND

Portland is a quiet, friendly small town tucked into eastern North Dakota's Red River Valley. Founded in the late nineteenth century along the railroad, it sits right next door to its sister city of Mayville. Locals commonly refer to the twin towns together as May-Port, sharing daily activities while each maintains its own distinct municipal identity.
