Portland is a port city in the Pacific Northwest and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Oregon.

Situated in the northwestern area of the state at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, Portland is the county seat of Multnomah County, the most populous county in Oregon.

As of 2020, Portland had a population of 652,503, making it the 26th-most populous city in the United States, the sixth-most populous on the West Coast, and the second-most populous in the Pacific Northwest, after Seattle.

Approximately 2.5 million people live in the Portland–Vancouver–Hillsboro, OR–WA metropolitan statistical area, making it the 25th most populous in the United States.

About half of Oregon’s population resides within the Portland metropolitan area.

Named after Portland, Maine, which is itself named after the English Isle of Portland, the Oregon settlement began to be populated in the 1840s, near the end of the Oregon Trail.

Its water access provided convenient transportation of goods, and the timber industry was a major force in the city’s early economy.
