Portland (/ˈpɔːrtlənd/, PORT-lənd) is a port city in the Pacific Northwest and the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon. Situated at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, Portland is the county seat of Multnomah County, the most populous county in Oregon. As of 2020, Portland had a population of 652,503, making it the 26th-most populated city in the United States, the sixth-most populous on the West Coast, and the second-most populous in the Pacific Northwest, after Seattle. Approximately 2.5 million people live in the Portland metropolitan statistical area (MSA), making it the 25th most populous in the United States. About half of Oregon's population resides within the Portland metropolitan area.

Named after Portland, Maine, the Oregon settlement began to be populated in the 1840s, near the end of the Oregon Trail. Its water access provided convenient transportation of goods, and the timber industry was a major force in the city's early economy. At the turn of the 20th century, the city had a reputation as one of the most dangerous port cities in the world, a hub for organized crime and racketeering. After the city's economy experienced an industrial boom during World War II, its hard-edged reputation began to dissipate. Beginning in the 1960s, Portland became noted for its growing liberal and progressive political values, earning it a reputation as a bastion of counter-culture.

The old route of the Yellow River passes through the county and forms large reservoirs such as Qiushui Lake. In 2010, it was identified as the west wing of Shangqiu's "one nuclear, two wings" development strategy. Minquan County has a long history. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, there were cities, named Dai Yi. During the Spring and Autumn and warring States period, it was the territory of the State of Dai and the State of Song. Since the Qin Dynasty, the county has successively set up Waihuang, Chengan County, Kaocheng and other counties, which has been the seat of the old Kaocheng County until 1783. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the region belonged to Kaocheng, Suizhou and Qi County. 1928
