About Portland

Tourists visit Portland's historic Old Port district along Portland Harbor, at the mouth of the Fore River and part of Casco Bay, and the Arts District, which runs along Congress Street in the center of the city. Portland Head Light is located in nearby Cape Elizabeth and marks the entrance to Portland Harbor. The city seal depicts a phoenix rising from ashes, which aligns with the city's motto, Resurgam, Latin for "I will rise again." The motto refers to Portland's recoveries from four devastating fires. The city of Portland, Oregon, was named for Portland, Maine. Portland has a humid continental climate with rather cold, snowy winters, and warm, occasionally almost hot, summers. The monthly daily average temperature ranges from 11.3 °F (−5.4 °C) in January to 69.1 °F (10.6 °C) in July. The Arts District, centered on Congress Street, is home to several museums and art galleries, an arts college and art studios. There are many green parks in and around Portland.
