Portland, Maine, USA
Portland is a city in the U.S. state of Maine and serves as the seat of Cumberland County. Portland's population was 67,067 as of 2017. The Greater Portland metropolitan area is home to over half a million people, more than one-third of Maine's total population, making it the most populous metro in northern New England (an area comprising the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont). Portland is Maine's , with an economy that relies on the service sector and tourism. The Old Port district is known for its 19th century architecture and nightlife. Marine industry still plays an important role in the city's economy, with an active waterfront that supports fishing and commercial shipping. The Port of Portland is the largest tonnage seaport in New England.
The city seal depicts a phoenix rising from ashes, which is a reference to the recoveries from four devastating fires. Portland was named after the English Isle of Portland, Dorset. In turn, the city of Portland, Oregon was named after Portland, Maine. Portland itself comes from the Old English word Portlanda, which literally means land surrounding a harbor.

Recollections of Margaret Chase Smith
The first woman ever elected to both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives -- and who stood up to red-baiting Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1950, before anyone else dared to -- came from tiny Skowhegan, Maine. A fellow Skowhegan native and distant relative of Senator Smith's reflects on the inspiration she provided to kids from rural towns across Maine through her courage and quiet dignity. MPBN marketing and communications manager Louis Morin talks about his impulsive decision to ask her to accompany him to his government class after a high school assembly and how to his great surprise, she accepted. (Photos used in the this segment are courtesy of the Margaret Chase Smith Library).
