Portland history:

Once an Indian village, Portland began from 840 acres purchased by John C. Willacy. It was founded in 1890 and grew slowly. By 1943, it had a population of just 500 people. Besides the 840 acres bought by Willacy, the New England Land & New England R.E. Company purchased 1,280 adjacent acres of land. Most of the stockholders of these companies lived in Portland, Maine. The new town was named in honor of their hometown.
