Portland is the largest city in Oregon, a few dozen miles from the west (Pacific) coast of the United States.
Portland was the major port in the northwestern United States for much of the 19th century, until the 1890s when direct railroad access between the deep water harbor at Seattle and points east by way of Stampede Pass had been built.
Portland is also home to Mill Ends Park, one of the smallest parks anywhere (being a two-foot diameter circle, its "acreage" is only about 0.3 square metres).
