Portland

County: Sumner

The rural community of Portland is located just 5 miles from Kentucky and 35 miles from Nashville.  With Interstate 65 only minutes from the city, business and industry have flourished beside agriculture in this land-rich area.  Gently rolling hills, beautiful neighborhoods, and sweeping fields and pastures harmonize for a picturesque environment.  Quality schools, active civic organizations, lush parks and abundant recreational facilities give Portland a family-friendly atmosphere.  Springtime is especially inviting in Portland, when the local cash crop of strawberries is celebrated in style with a Strawberry Parade and other festivities.  Close proximity to Nashville’s cultural attractions, professional sports, and major universities add to the quality of life.
