In the state of Texas, Portland is a city in San Patricio and Nueces counties. A 640-acre original town site of Portland was bought by John G. Willacy in 1890 and was sold to Portland (Maine) Harbor & Improvement Co. in 1890. 1, 280 acres of land east and northeast of the 640-acre land was bought by the New England Land & New England R. E. Company. These companies have most of their stockholders from Portland, Maine and named this city in honor of their hometown, thus the city of Portland, Texas.
