Welcome to Portage, IN

The bustling Portage community had its genesis as an industrial city and still supports an impressive number of companies and businesses including major steel operations. Portage Community Hospital meets the need for advanced healthcare close to home for local residents and those in Portage Township or surrounding small communities. Compared to many of the cities in Northwest Indiana, Portage is relatively young. The community became a town in 1958 and incorporated as a city in 1968. The Countryside Museum celebrates the history of Portage Township in a turn-of-the-century farmhouse operated by the Portage Community Historical Society. True to the name "Portage," this area provides several marinas, boat launch facilities, and landings that provide access to Lake Michigan. Local parks, the Portage gazebo, sports courts, and a community center are just a few of the local attractions. The city is unique within the region as a self-contained community-not a suburb of a larger metropolitan center. The small-town atmosphere that prevails creates a feeling of pride and belonging, attributes that attract newcomers to a family-oriented lifestyle.
