    Portland Oregon was named after Portland Maine (by a guy from there). Portland Maine was indeed named because of the nice port there, when they wanted to focus on shipping.

      My sister-in-law lives in Beaverton—a suburb of Portland (the Oregon one). It cracks me up when I visit and see the signs. The Beaverton is a satirical publication in Canada. Basically a Canadian version of The Onion.
