See ME, Feel ME, Love ME!

Welcome to Maine (ME)'s largest city, Portland, with a population of 66,000 made up of dedicated, loyal, and proud Portlanders, old and new, with diverse backgrounds that make our innovative hub exciting and unique. Settled thousands of years ago by American Indians, the native and European history of our city is best discovered via landmarks and historical monuments dedicated to the past. Today, talented artists, musicians, writers, and creators of all stripes will find a supportive and nurturing arts community here, spearheaded by Creative Portland. Boomerangs are coming back, empty nesters are seeking comfortable alternatives, and young families are moving out of bigger cities and flocking here in droves. Whether you’re passing through or thinking of moving here, you’ll be blown away by the cultural options that our vibrant, artsy food town offers.
