Facts about South Portland, ME

Found in Cumberland County, South Portland is the fourth-largest city in Maine. As of the 2020 census, the city has a population in excess of 26, 400 residents. Incorporated in 1898, the city's position on the Portland Harbor has allowed it to maintain one of the most vibrant working waterfronts in the state. 

Today, South Portland is known as a major center for retail and various types of industrial activity within New England. This is attributed to the city's proximity to water, highway, air, and rail transportation. Along with a thriving economy, the city also commands a beautiful view of the nearby Portland skyline, and the islands found in Casco Bay. 

While South Portland has a name that's close to the nearby Maine capital, it has never been part of Portland. Originally, it was part of Cape Elizabeth, but became its own municipality in 1895. The two cities, along with Cape Elizabeth, do share a common genealogy: all three were once part of Falmouth, until the first breakaways took place in 1765.
