agricultural community by land developer John G. Willacy, who saw the city's high bluff and bays as an opportunity. The early settlement of the area progressed slowly until the establishment of transportation routes and developing industries, primarily in Corpus Christi, stimulated Portland's growth. Portland was officially incorporated in 1949.
Throughout the twentieth century, Portland grew from a small farming settlement into a well-established suburb closely tied to the surrounding industrial and economic development of Corpus Christi. Specifically, its location along the bay provided both scenic and commercial assistance to new residents and businesses. By the early twenty-first century, Portland was marked by residential neighborhoods, waterfront parks for recreation, and the proximity of industrial development in the area, which included the Port of Corpus Christi and petrochemical industrial plants across the bay.
In the 2020 census in the United States, Portland had a population of 20,383. The City of Portland has conducted more ongoing estimates that currently put the population at about 20,956 (as of 2025), a continued growth trend in the area. Today, Portland maintains a blend of suburban character, coastal natural areas, and economic integration with the greater Corpus Christi metropolitan area.
