Portland: Powellhurst-Gilbert: Portland - Division at 101st
Few places in the Pacific Northwest have a history as closely tied to river commerce as Portland. Established as a townsite in 1845 and incorporated in 1851, it grew on the Willamette River, part of the Columbia River system that connected Oregon with inland trade. Southeast Division Street runs through the city’s broad eastern neighbourhoods, where shops, services and housing line a major urban arterial. Portland’s cultural life includes the Portland Art Museum, founded in 1892, alongside a long-established independent food, music and publishing scene. Forest Park and the wooded West Hills form a green counterpoint to the built-up east side.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions.
